Angelo Hayden · Answer 1

Hyperglycemia is the condition of high blood glucose levels which happens as a result of insufficient insulin secretion by the pancreas. On the other hand, Insulin inhibits the breakdown of fat in adipose tissue by inhibiting enzymes that hydrolyze triglycerides to release fatty acids. Insufficient insulin secretion results in high fatty acid levels in the blood, a condition called lipidemia.

Justus Vasquez · Answer 2

Hyperglycemia is a condition, in which the blood glucose level reaches above the normal levels. this condition is caused by the deficiency or inactivity of the insulin. Hyperglycemia occurs when the cell is not able to absorb sugar from the blood, as a result, a lack of sugar in the cells occurs.

In case of absence of sugars in the cells, the cells use fats as a source of energy. the metabolising of the fats result in the increase in the fatty acid levels in the blood. the presence of the fatty acids above than the normal level causes the lipedemia.

Hence, the hyperglycemia increases the risk of lipedemia.
