Hyperglycemia is the condition that arises due to a primary failure of the β-cells of the pancreas to secrete insulin, which is required for the absorption and utilization of glucose by the body cells. The absence or inadequate secretion of insulin causes an increase in blood glucose levels leading to hyperglycemia. Hyperinsulinism, on the other hand, is a condition where there is an excess secretion of insulin from the pancreas, leading to decreased blood glucose levels. Hyperlipidemia and hyperphosphatemia are conditions related to lipid and phosphate metabolism respectively and are not directly related to β-cell dysfunction.
