9 SIGNS YOUR
BLOOD SUGAR IS TOO HIGH
BY ADMIN ·
Have you
ever felt like something was off with your body, but you weren’t sure what was
causing it? When something isn’t quite right with our bodies, we often
experience symptoms. Symptoms are the body’s way of letting us know that
there’s an underlying problem.
On the
surface, blurred vision, slow healing of wounds and constant hunger don’t seem
to be related. But if you put them together, you might be able to find out
what’s really going on. These are all symptoms of high blood sugar.
Blood in the
human body naturally contains sugar in the form of glucose. The right amount of
blood sugar provides energy to the body’s cells and organs. In order to keep
blood sugar levels at a healthy range, the body needs insulin. Insulin is a
hormone that takes blood sugar and delivers it to the body’s cells.
In people
with type 1 diabetes, the immune system attacks the cells in the pancreas that
produce insulin. In those suffering from type 2 diabetes, the body produces
insulin but it is unable to use it properly.
What Causes
High Blood Sugar?
When you are
sick or stressed out, your body produces hormones to combat illness and stress.
This can end up triggering high blood sugar. Other causes of high blood sugar
include:
Not enough
insulin or oral diabetes medication
Eating or
drinking more carbohydrates than usual
Less
activity or exercise than ususal
Illness or
infection
Injury or
surgery
Certain
medications
Symptoms Of
High Blood Sugar
When he
body’s blood sugar levels are too high, they begin to create problems. Over
time, the blood vessels become damaged, which can lead to many complications.
High blood sugar can end up causing a heart attack or stroke, kidney disease or
kidney failure and damage to the eyes or loss of vision.
It can also
create nerve problems in the skin, leading to sores and infections. Being able
to recognize the symptoms of high blood sugar can help you catch it early and
prevent it from causing permanent damage.
1. Numbness,
Burning Or Tingling
High blood sugar
can cause numbness, burning or tingling in the hands, legs and feet. This is
caused by diabetic neuropathy, which is a complication of diabetes.
2. Constant
Hunger
Without the
proper amount of blood sugar to give your body energy, you may end up constantly
craving food, because your body is looking for an alternative energy source.
3. Frequent
Urination
High sugar
in the blood ends up in the kidneys and urine, which attracts even more water.
This can lead to frequent urination.
4. Increased
Thirst
Along with
frequent urination, sugar in the kidneys and urine can cause increased thirst.
5.
Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss
When the
body’s cells aren’t getting the glucose they need, the body burns muscle and
fat for energy instead. This can cause sudden or unexplained weight loss. The
same can also be said of weight gain, unfortunately. So it is good to keep an
eye out for any type of severe weight fluctuation.
6. Fatigue
When the
body’s cells aren’t able to access blood sugar for energy, a person can end up
feeling constantly fatigued.
7.
Difficulty Concentrating
When your
body is unbalanced, your mind also suffers. High blood sugar can cause
difficulty concentrating and problems with memory.
8. Slow
Healing
High blood
sugar can cause damage to the nerves. If you notice your cuts or wounds have
been healing very slowly, it might be a good idea to get your blood sugar
checked.

and blurred vision, especially if brought on suddenly, should never be ignored.
High blood sugar could be the underlying cause for both of these symptoms.zziness
