How do you feel when your blood sugar is high?

When blood sugar is high, some people may feel more tired than usual, thirsty, or may need to urinate more often. Others might notice blurred vision, headaches, or feel generally unwell. However, some people may not feel any different at all. That’s why regular monitoring is important, especially for those managing diabetes.

What are the symptoms of too much sugar in the body?

Symptoms of excess sugar in the body can include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and sometimes hunger even after eating. Sometimes, people might also experience dry mouth, irritability, or slow-healing wounds. These signs can vary from person to person.

What are the danger levels of hyperglycemia?

Hyperglycemia is generally considered when blood sugar levels go above the recommended range. However, the levels considered “dangerous” can vary based on individual health conditions; for people with diabetes, more than 250 mg/dL is considered dangerous. If levels stay high for a long time or go too high suddenly, it’s best to consult a doctor.

What should I eat if my glucose is high?

Dietary needs can differ for each person, so it's always better to get personalised advice from a healthcare provider or dietitian. But generally, if your blood sugar is high, it's a good idea to choose foods that are lighter on the stomach and not too high in simple carbohydrates. Options like plain dal, sabzi, whole wheat roti, salads, or buttermilk can be helpful. Staying hydrated and avoiding sugary or fried foods is also recommended.
