Hello,
You sister is having high blood sugar following surgery.
This condition is called Stress hyperglycemia.
This can happen following any major surgery.
Your sister is prone to develop Diabetes on a later date.
Repeat the blood sugar after sometime.
Advice lifestyle modification, diet and exercise.
This may delay wound healing. Give a good wound care.
