High Blood Sugar(Hyperglycemia)
Understand blood sugar and live life to the fullest!
Blood Sugar Levels (of Glucose) Explained
When foods that have carbohydrates in them are eaten, the carbohydrate is eventually broken down into glucose in the digestive system and then the glucose is released into the bloodstream.
Glucose is basically the simplest form of sugar - all carbohydrate foods get broken down into their simplest form in the body - glucose.
The body uses glucose for energy in every single cell of the body.
There are two important organs which are involved in the release of glucose in the blood:
Pancreas - this is the main organ that regulates the amount of glucose that is released in the blood, by secreting a hormone called insulin. Insulin is the
hormone that allows glucose to enter the cells of the body which gives the cells the energy they require to function properly.
The brain requires a lot of glucose energy to function properly
Liver - this is the organ that stores unused glucose, in the form of glycogen.
The liver breaks down glycogen and releases into the blood when the pancreas
releases another hormone called glucagon, in response to low levels of glucose in the blood.
What is High Blood Sugar?
Your body uses the sugars it extracts from the foods you eat, and uses these to provide energy for the cells in your body.
It is called a blood glucose level, as glucose is the particular type of sugar that is formed and stored inside the body.
When the levels are too high, the body converts the excess glucose to glycogen (a short term fuel store mainly in the liver and muscle cells) or it is stored as fat which is a long term energy reserve.
Keeping your Blood Sugar Levels under control is probably the most important factor in maintaining even energy levels and weight.
The level of glucose in the blood largely determines appetite.
When the level drops, hunger is experienced.
Causes of High Blood Sugar
1. The foods you eat- Your blood glucose level can be higher based on the foods you eat, especially too many foods that are high in carbohydrates, such as potato chips, sodas and bread.
2. Not exercising enough- As you exercise (even something simple as walking daily) your body uses up extra glucose stored in the cells as means to provide you with energy.
3. Dehydration- Your blood glucose level can go up simply because you have not had enough water! Make sure to stay hydrated so your body has everything it needs to regulate your glucose level.
4. Stress- When your stress level goes up, it sends a signal to your body that initiates the 'fight or flight' response.
This causes your blood sugar level to go up, as your body is preparing to expend extra energy.
Monitor your stress level and cope as needed!
Symptoms of High Blood Sugar
Do you have a Blood Sugar problem?
- Are you rarely alert within 20 minutes of rising?
- Do you need a cup of tea, coffee, a cigarette or something sweet to get you going in the morning?
- Do you often feel drowsy or sleepy during the day, or after meals?
- Do you fall asleep in the early evening or need naps during the day?
- Do you avoid exercise because you do not have energy?
- Are you experiencing decreased energy levels?
- Do you suffer from night sweats or frequent headaches?
If you answered, “yes” to most of these questions, then there is a high
possibility that your blood sugar levels are unstable and that it is important
to have your blood sugar levels tested.
A high blood sugar level itself is a symptom of diabetes.
However, an individual experiencing hyperglycemia may have no symptoms at all.
Common symptoms can include:
- Dry mouth
- Thirst
- Frequent urination
- Urination during the night
- Blurry vision
- Dry, itchy skin
- Fatigue or drowsiness
- Weight loss
- Increased appetite
If hyperglycemia persists for several hours and leads to dehydration,
other symptoms may develop, such as:
- Difficulty breathing
- Dizziness upon standing
- Rapid weight loss
- Increased drowsiness and confusion
- Unconsciousness or coma
Left untreated, hyperglycemia can lead to a condition called ketoacidosis,
also known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or diabetic coma.
This occurs because the body has insufficient insulin to process glucose
into fuel, so the body breaks down fats to use for energy.
When the body breaks down fat, ketones are produced as by-products.
Some ketones are eliminated via the urine, but not all. Until the patient is rehydrated, and adequate insulin action is restored, ketones remain in the blood.
Ketones in the blood cause nausea, headache, fatigue, or vomiting.
Ketoacidosis is life-threatening and demands immediate treatment.
Symptoms include:
- Shortness of breath
- Nausea and vomiting
- Dry mouth
- Breath that smells fruity
- Stomach pain
