Regulating Blood Sugar Levels
Symptoms that indicate uncontrolled blood sugar levels:
- Increased Thirst / Dry Mouth: Persistent thirst and a dry mouth can be early signs that your blood sugar levels are too high.
- Frequent Urination: High blood sugar levels cause your kidneys to work overtime to filter and absorb the excess sugar, leading to more frequent urination.
- Extreme Fatigue & Nausea: When your cells can't absorb sugar properly due to insulin issues, your body lacks the energy it needs, causing extreme fatigue and nausea.
- Increased Hunger: Despite eating enough, high blood sugar levels can prevent glucose from entering cells, making you feel hungry all the time
- Tingling or Numbness: High blood sugar can damage nerves, leading to tingling or numbness, particularly in the hands and feet.
- Slow Healing of Wounds: Elevated blood sugar levels can impair circulation and delay the healing of cuts and wounds.
- Blurred Vision: High sugar levels can cause the lenses in your eyes to swell, leading to blurred vision.
- Unintentional Weight Loss: When your body can't properly utilize glucose, it may start burning fat and muscle for energy, leading to unintentional weight loss.
