According to WHO, when the blood sugar level is high, your body looks tired and weak. Even if you have slept well, if you still feel tired, then this can be another symptom of diabetes.
According to WebMD, fluctuations in blood sugar levels can cause the eye lens to swell, changing its shape and affecting your ability to see clearly. High blood sugar is a disease that stays with you for life. There are many reasons responsible for this disease. In diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or it is unable to use insulin properly, which increases the level of sugar in the blood. Insulin is a hormone that controls blood sugar. When there is a shortage of insulin or it is not used properly, sugar accumulates in the blood.
High blood sugar levels for a long time can damage various parts of the body. High blood sugar can damage the heart, kidneys, lungs and eyes. Information about high blood sugar is obtained through a blood test, but there are also some symptoms in the body that signal like an alarm when there is high blood sugar.
To identify high blood sugar, it is very important to understand its symptoms. Although the best way to check diabetes is through a blood test, when the level of diabetes is high, some symptoms appear in the body which our body feels. If we understand these symptoms and get tested on time, then the side effects of high blood sugar can be avoided. Let us know what are the symptoms seen in the body when blood sugar is high.
Frequent urinationOne of the most common early symptoms of diabetes is frequent urination, especially at night. When blood sugar levels are too high, the kidneys work harder to filter out the excess sugar and excrete it through urine, leading to frequent urination. If you suddenly start urinating too much, it could be a warning sign of diabetes.
Feeling very thirstyWhen blood sugar is high, one feels very thirsty. Due to frequent urination, there is a lack of water in the body and to compensate for this, the patient feels more thirsty. Drinking water when thirsty is a way to keep the body hydrated, but the thirst of a diabetic patient is not like normal thirst. When blood sugar is high, the thirst remains constant and you drink water and also urinate repeatedly.
Constant hungerWhen the blood sugar level is high, not only do you feel thirsty but you also feel constantly hungry. When blood sugar is high, you eat more than your normal hunger. If you feel constantly hungry even after eating, then these can be symptoms of high diabetes. Hunger occurs when sugar is high because the body's cells are unable to absorb glucose properly due to lack of insulin or insulin resistance. As a result, the cells do not get energy and the brain signals that you should eat more, even if the body does not actually need it.
Feeling more tiredAccording to WHO, when blood sugar levels are high, your body looks tired and weak. Even if you have slept well, you still feel tired, so this can be another symptom of diabetes. When glucose is unable to enter the cells to provide energy, the body feels tired and weak. This lack of energy makes even daily tasks tiring. This symptom is common in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Dryness and itching of the skinHigh blood sugar levels can cause dehydration in the body, which makes the skin dry and itchy. This symptom may seem minor, as dry skin is common. If you often see such symptoms in your body, do not ignore it. If there is constant itching on the skin and there is no relief despite applying moisturizer, then this can be a warning sign of diabetes.
Blurred visionAccording to WebMD, fluctuations in blood sugar levels can cause swelling in the eye lens, which changes its shape and affects the ability to see clearly. Blurred vision is directly related to blood sugar levels. If you suddenly or repeatedly start to feel weak vision, it can be a serious sign, in such a case, get your blood sugar checked immediately.
