SIGNS YOUR BLOOD SUGAR IS TOO HIGH

Why blood sugar is important?

Blood sugar is body’s major energy source. Through blood circulation, the body cells can receive energy for effective functioning.

What’s considered too high for blood sugar and what’s the best way to monitor it?

If the level goes beyond 180 mg/dl, after a few hours of eating. I recommend using the fingertip for accuracy. It is best if you stick to the fingertip every time when testing to avoid getting varied results.

Need 3-4 subtle signs your blood sugar is too high.

Blurry vision

The eye lens is extra sensitive to blood sugar concentrations. Any levels higher than the usual or fluctuations in the concentration can affect the lens shape. For example, swollen lens reduce the eyes’ focus or causes blurry vision.

Frequent yeast infections

Individuals with high glucose levels may have improper filtration at the kidney. It causes the sugar to get deposited in urine. Sugar in a moist and warm surrounding, potentially causes yeast or urinary tract infections.

Unexplained weight loss

High blood sugar, especially with insulin resistance makes cells unable to properly receive glucose. As a result, the body uses energy from other alternative sources, making the body get into catabolism. This causes weight loss.
