High glucose levels lower blood water potential, causing cells to lose water via osmosis, leading to shrinkage and death.
This card explains that if glucose levels are too high, it reduces the blood's water potential, causing cells to lose water by osmosis, shrivel, and die.

|---|---|
| Back | Water potential of blood reduced water molecules diffuse out of cell into blood by osmosis cells shrivel up and die |
