What’s the difference/similarity in hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and diabetes?

Question

I know hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are the opposite, but what’s the difference and is one just like diabetes?

In: Biology

Answer 1

Hyperglycemia is high Blood Sugar
Hypoglycemia is low Blood Sugar

Typically type 1 diabetics (those who’s bodies are incapable of production on insulin) are more concerned with both. Type 2 diabetics produce less insulin than a normal person, but can be regulated more through diet and exercise.

If you know people who tend to get cranky/shakey when they are hungry, that can be a symptom of hypoglycemia. Every person will react to lows and highs differently.
