Signs of high blood sugar

Is your vision blurry for no reason? High blood sugar can change the shape of the lens and affect vision. If this happens regularly, talk to your doctor.

  1. Difficulty concentrating

A brain that lacks fuel (glucose misused) functions in slow motion. The result: concentration problems, mental fatigue and a feeling of being  “in the fog” .

  1. Dry mouth

A dry mouth, often accompanied by intense thirst, may indicate that your body is losing too much fluid due to the elimination of sugar through urine.

    1. Erectile dysfunction (in men)

Over the long term, excess sugar can damage the blood vessels and nerves responsible for erections. This is a sign that should not be underestimated.

  1. Frequent infections

High blood sugar weakens the immune system, promoting urinary tract, skin, and recurring infections. If you’re getting sick often, this is a warning sign to listen to.

  1. Slow-healing wounds

Is your injury taking longer to heal? This may be related to poor blood circulation, which is typical in people with high blood sugar.
