20 Signs of High Blood Sugar

1. Fatigue:

Experiencing extreme fatigue can be a symptom of high blood sugar levels. When there is an excess of glucose in the blood, you feel tired as the blood moves more slowly than usual, resulting in reduced oxygen supply to organs and cells. Prolonged high blood sugar levels can cause long-term harm to the body. Fatigue related to elevated blood sugar levels is also associated with inflammation. Increased sugar levels lead to inflammation of blood vessels, releasing immune cells called monocytes into the brain, which contribute to fatigue.

Fatigue can also result from low blood sugar levels, where the body lacks sufficient energy. This leads to feelings of listlessness, exhaustion, and accompanied by dizziness and irritability. Fatigue induced by high blood sugar levels cannot be alleviated by sleep, and it significantly affects one's quality of life by limiting their ability to engage in desired activities. Additionally, poor sleep quality is often experienced by individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, further contributing to fatigue.
