Answer:

Hyperglycemia means high blood sugar. The hormone released by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar is insulin.

Explanation:

Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar (high blood glucose), happens when the body does not have enough insulin or when the body does not use insulin properly, so the level of sugar in the blood is higher than it should be. It is especially dangerous for people with diabetes. In this case, it is because you ate too much carbohydrate in your meal, which causes the blood sugar to go up for a few hours. In response to this, high blood sugar, the pancreas releases insulin, which helps break down the ingested glucose (sugar).
