Have you been told your HbA1c is a bit high? Do you struggle to know what is going on with your blood sugars on a day to day basis but don’t check your own blood sugar levels? Here are some symptoms of high blood sugars that might help you recognise hyperglycaemia (raised blood sugar levels):
- Needing to urinate more often, especially during the night
- Being very thirsty and a dry mouth
- Headaches
- Feeling tired or weak
- Blurred vision
- Recurrent thrush, cystitis or skin infections
Drinking plenty of sugar-free fluids can help but if you are unsure what has caused your hyperglycaemia or how to deal with it seek advice from a healthcare professional. There are also some tips on this web page:
