How does high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) feel?
high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) The human body naturally has sugar, or glucose, in the blood. The right amount of blood sugar gives the body's cells and organs energy. Too much blood sugar is known as hyperglycemia.

The liver and muscles produce some blood sugar, but most comes from food and drinks that contain carbohydrates.

In order to keep blood sugar levels within a normal range, the body needs insulin. Insulin is a hormone that directs the body's cells to take up glucose and store it.

If there is not enough insulin, or insulin does not work properly, blood sugar builds up. High blood sugar levels can cause health problems.

What does hyperglycemia feel like, why does it happen, and how do you know if your blood sugar levels are too high?

Symptoms

High blood sugar can cause headache and fatigue.
Blood sugar is fuel for the body's organs and functions.

But, having high blood sugar does not provide a boost in energy.

In fact, the opposite often happens, because the body's cells cannot access the blood sugar for energy.

How does this feel?

When a person has high blood sugar, they may:

have a headache and other aches and pains
find it hard to concentrate
be very thirsty or hungry
feel drowsy or tired
have blurred vision
feel their mouth is dry
have bloating
need to urinate often
notice that wounds take a long time to heal
High blood sugar and low insulin can lead to a rise in ketones, and possibly diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that needs urgent medical attention.

If this occurs, the individual may experience:

shortness of breath
a fruity taste or smell on the breath
a rapid heartbeat
confusion and disorientation
vomiting
dehydration
coma
In addition, the person's blood sugar levels may be over 250 ml/dL.

People can experience high blood sugar levels in the morning, especially if they have diabetes. Click here 

Testing kits for levels of blood sugar and ketone levels are available for purchase online, for use at home.

However, anyone who thinks they have diabetes should see a doctor first.

How does high blood sugar affect the body?

High sugar in the blood can lead to a number of other symptoms and complications. Here are just a few.

Urination and thirst: High blood sugar goes into the kidneys and urine. This attracts more water, causing frequent urination. This can also lead to increased thirst, despite drinking enough liquids.

Weight loss: High blood sugar can cause sudden or unexplained weight loss. This occurs because the body's cells are not getting the glucose they need, so the body burns muscle and fat for energy instead.

Numbness and tingling: High blood sugar can also cause numbness, burning, or tingling in the hands, legs, and feet. This is due to diabetic neuropathy, a complication of diabetes that often occurs after many years of high blood sugar levels.
