What are signs that your blood sugar is too high?
Before we dive into the signs that your blood sugar may be too high (also called hyperglycemia), it’s important to remember that with type 2 diabetes, high blood sugar may be the result of food, exercise, and medication levels not being well-balanced.
Improving your diet to eat more well-balanced meals with lots of vitamins, minerals, and healthy proteins, exercising more frequently or for longer periods of time, and having a practitioner overseeing your prediabetes or type 2 diabetes treatment plan can help maintain stable, safe blood sugar levels.
In regards to signs that your blood sugar is too high, these may appear both as mild or severe symptoms, depending on how high your blood sugars are, and how your body reacts individually to this. These signs of high blood sugar could include:
- Increased thirst
- More frequent urination
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue or weakness
- Blurred vision
- Lightheadedness
- Dry, hot, or flushed skin
- Restlessness
- Drowsiness
- Rapid heartbeat
- Weak pulse
- Loss of appetite
- Stomach pain
- Vomiting
Should any of these signs of high blood pressure appear, you should let your practitioner know, so that they can suggest appropriate measures to better manage your blood sugar levels.
