Blood sugar rises after meals, drops during activity, and keeping it in a healthy range is key to preventing diabetes and other health problems.
Both high and low blood sugar levels can cause noticeable symptoms. Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) may lead to increased thirst, frequent urination, headaches, fatigue, blurred vision, and trouble concentrating. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) often presents differently, with shakiness, sweating, irritability, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, confusion, or fainting. Severe hypoglycemia can trigger seizures, loss of consciousness, or even coma if not treated promptly. Recognizing these warning signs early is crucial for managing blood sugar and preventing serious complications.
