Abstract
Hyperglycaemia refers to an elevated glucose concentration in the circulating blood. While blood glucose level (BG) is often elevated after a meal, it usually normalises to a range of 3.5–5.6 mmol/l within 3 hours of a meal in a healthy individual. During fasting, BGs are also usually maintained within the normal range of 3.5–5.6 mmol/l [1].
