Most think only diabetics suffer from high blood sugar, but anyone can. This can harm nerves, blood vessels, and organs. One should recognize the symptoms to prevent complications.
- Constant Hunger: Even after eating, you’re still hungry. This indicates high sugar consumption. “High blood sugar prevents glucose from entering cells.”
- Physical Symptoms:
- Fatigue: High blood sugar impedes glucose storage, causing tiredness.
- Frequent urination & thirst: Due to the body’s attempt to normalize glucose levels.
- Weight Loss: Unexpected weight loss may result from calorie expenditure in urination and insufficient insulin.
- Dry skin: Caused by dehydration from frequent urination and poor blood circulation.
- Mental Difficulties: High sugar prevents glucose from reaching brain cells, slowing thinking and decision-making. “Our brains need sugar for better work.”
- Vision and Healing:
- Blurred Vision: High sugar affects eye cells, causing blurriness.
- Slow wound healing: High sugar causes vascular damage leading to poor blood circulation.
- Mood and Sexual Health:
- Irritability: Fluctuating glucose affects mood. “Sugar also affects the absorption of another nutrient responsible for mood: chromium.”
- Impotence: High blood glucose impacts nerve health and hormonal balance.
Reducing sugar intake can mitigate these symptoms.
