A genetically linked disease that runs in my family is high blood glucose. It is also known as "Hyperglycemia". This happens when the body has too little insulin or when the body can not use insulin properly. The traits of "Hyperglycemia" is having high levels of sugar in the urine, liquid waste filtered from the blood by the kidneys, stored in the bladder, frequent urination and increased thirst. Genetic cause of "Hyperglycemia" is response to treatment in diabetes. Treatment for "Hyperglycemia" is that you could lower your blood glucose level, check your urine for ketones( If I have ketones, I should not exercise. Exercising when ketones are present may make my blood glucose level go even higher.), to be on a special diet and to cut down on the amount of food I eat.
