Sept. 4, 2012 -- Blood sugar levels at the high end of what is considered normal may put the brain at risk, according to a new Australian study. Researchers in Canberra report a link between the shrinkage of two brain regions, the hippocampus and the amygdala, and normal blood sugar levels.
The cells burn fat instead of glucose, and ketones form in the blood and spill into the urine. Some causes of high blood sugar are: 1  Missing an insulin dose or skipping some oral medications. 2  A disconnected or blocked insulin pump tube. 3  Being sick with the flu. 4  High levels of stress.
