What happens if your blood glucose level increases?

If your blood glucose level increases, it can lead to a condition called hyperglycemia. This is when there is too much glucose (sugar) in your blood. Hyperglycemia can cause a variety of symptoms, including:

- Increased thirst

- Increased urination

- Blurred vision

- Fatigue

- Headache

- Nausea

- Vomiting

- Stomach pain

- Weight loss

- Confusion

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to check your blood glucose level immediately. If your blood glucose level is high, you should take steps to lower it. This can include taking medication, eating a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise.

If left untreated, hyperglycemia can lead to serious health problems, including:

- Heart disease

- Stroke

- Kidney disease

- Blindness

- Nerve damage

- Erectile dysfunction

- Amputation

It is important to talk to your doctor about your blood glucose levels and to develop a plan for managing them.
