Some of the Symptoms to notice to know about the Diabetes are as follows-
1) High Blood Sugar/Glucose (HYPERGLYCAEMIA):-
Hyperglycaemia occurs when your blood sugar, (the body’s main source of energy) levels become higher than normal, usually due to a lack of insulin. Insulin helps the body convert blood sugar into energy. If the body does not have enough insulin, this blood sugar cannot be broken down and this stays in the blood stream, causing blood sugar levels to rise.
High blood sugar can also be caused by eating too many sugars and carbohydrates (which release extra glucose into your blood stream), failing to exercise (which can reduce the effectiveness of insulin) and by being physically or mentally stressed (which can lead to the body producing extra glucose).
Blood sugar levels are said to reach hyperglycaemic levels when they are consistently above 126 mg/dL (milligrams per decilitre). The following symptoms may develope When your blood sugar reaches hyperglycaemic levels,
1. Blurred Vision.
2. Increased Thirst Levels.
3. Increased Hunger Levels.
4. Increased Susceptibility to Infection.
5. Increased Need to Urinate.
6. Weight Loss.
7. Weakness/Tiredness.
8. Nausea.
2) Low Blood Sugar/Glucose (HYPOGLYCAEMIA):-
Hypoglycaemia occurs when your blood glucose levels drop to lower than normal levels, usually because there is excessive insulin in your body. The presence of this extra insulin means that too much glucose is converted into energy and as a result your blood sugar levels start to decline.
Hypoglycaemia can also be caused by not consuming enough calories to meet the body’s energy requirements, either on a day to day basis or before exercise (your body burns extra calories during exercise so you need to make sure these additional calories are made available in the foods you eat prior to exercising). Alcoholic beverages also lower blood sugar levels and excessive alcohol consumption often causes hypoglycaemia.
Blood sugar levels are said to be hypoglycaemic when they are consistently below 70 mg/dL. The following symptoms may develope When your blood sugar drops to hypoglycaemic levels,
1. Increased Heart Rate.
2. Blurred Vision.
3. Confusion.
4. Weakness.
5. Dizziness.
6. Convulsions
7. Fatigue.
8. Hunger Pangs.
9. Paleness.
10. Coma.
11. Sweating.
12. Shaking.
