Hyperglycemia, hyperglycaemia, or high blood sugar is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma. This is generally a glucose level higher than 10 mmol/l, but symptoms may not start to become noticeable until even higher values such as 15-20 mmol/l. However, chronic levels exceeding 7 mmol/l can produce organ damage. The origin of the term is Greek: hyper-, meaning excessive; -glyc-, meaning sweet; and -emia, meaning "of the blood".
