High blood sugar: An elevated level of the sugar glucose in the blood. Also called hyperglycemia. High blood sugar is a finding in a number of conditions, most notably diabetes mellitus. Elevated blood glucose leads to spillage of glucose into the urine (glucosuria) so that the urine is sugary. (The term diabetes mellitus means sweet urine.)
A1c is a form of hemoglobin -- a protein in red blood cells -- that has combined with a molecule of the sugar glucose. As a marker for how much glucose has been present in the blood over time, elevated A1c values are most commonly seen in people with diabetes.
