And so that will basically create a high concentration of glucose inside our blood plasma. So once again, hyperglycemia is an abnormally high concentration of glucose in our body, in our blood system. This can result due to the inability of the beta cells of the pancreas to actually produce an ample amount of insulin. Or it can also be due to the inability of the insulin to actually bind to the protein receptor on the target cell membrane. In fact, people that have a consistently high concentration of glucose inside their blood system, people that consistently experience this condition of hyperglycemia, are said to have diabetes mellitus. So basically, diabetes comes in two forms, and this depends on the abnormality of the insulin.
