The most common cause of elevated serum glucose levels is recent food intake. The next possibility is Diabetes mellitus.
Yes, blood glucose levels can be falsely increased in lipemic serum due to interference in some laboratory methods used to measure glucose levels. Lipemic serum contains high levels of triglycerides or fats, which can affect the accuracy of glucose measurements by some glucose assays. This interference can result in erroneously elevated glucose readings.
A serum glucose level of 123 mg/dL is within the normal range for fasting blood glucose levels (70-100 mg/dL). If this level was obtained after fasting for at least 8 hours, it may indicate impaired glucose tolerance. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation.

High serum sodium levels
The symptoms are excess weight around the waistline, high levels of serum triglycerides, low levels of HDL (good cholesterol), high blood pressure, high fasting blood glucose levels.
Insuline and Glucagon control blood glucose. Insuline: brings down high levels of glucose. Glucagon: brings glucose levels back to normal, (brings glucose levels up).
If blood glucose levels are too high, the pancreas will secrete insulin. Insulin helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells for energy production and storage.
Adipose tissue is dependent on plasma glucose levels for energy storage and regulation of metabolism. It can uptake glucose from the bloodstream and store it as fat when glucose levels are high.
Excessive diuresis withou high blood glucose levels
Serum Osmolarity = 2 [Na] + [Glucose] + [BUN] (if all in mmol/L) OR Serum Osmolarity = 2 [Na] + [Glucose]/18 + [BUN]/2.8 (if glucose and BUN are in mg/dl)
There are many reasons for high glucose levels. It usually indicates diabetes and can be caused by obesity, high alcohol consumption, lack of exercise and also stress.
