9 Signs That Tell You Your Blood Sugar Level Is High

By

          What is  High Blood Sugar? Blood glucose is generally considered too high when it is higher than 130 mg/dl before a meal or higher than 180 mg/dl two hours after the first bite of a meal. However, most of the signs and symptoms of high blood glucose don’t come up until the blood glucose level is higher than 250 mg/dl. Some of the symptoms have a rapid onset, while others require a long period of high blood glucose to appear. It’s important to note that individuals differ in their sensitivity to the effects of high blood glucose: Some people feel symptoms more quickly or more strongly than others. But each sign or symptom has a biological link, or a specific cause behind the effect. Hyperglycemia might be acute or chronic. Acute hyperglycemia lasts only briefly and is usually the result of factors such as a high-carbohydrate meal, a missed dose of medicine, stress, or illness. Chronic hyperglycemia, on the other hand, is a state of long-term elevat...
