Do you often feel thirsty for no reason? Having trouble healing a small scratch? Feeling strangely tired and won’t leave you? What if your body is trying to tell you something… silently? Excess blood sugar doesn’t always cause pain, but it can have visible effects. And most importantly, it can become a cause for concern if you’re not careful.
Here’s how your body alerts you when your blood sugar is high , and why you shouldn’t take these signals lightly.

Persistent thirst, even when drinking plenty of water
We all know that feeling of dry mouth after a workout or in the middle of summer. But if this thirst becomes constant, especially without any particular effort, it could be a sign to watch out for . When the body has too much sugar in its blood, the kidneys try to eliminate it… by producing more urine. As a result, we lose water, and we feel thirsty. Again and again.

Frequent urge to urinate, including at night
And excessive thirst also means frequent urges to urinate! Especially if you get up at night to go to the bathroom (even though it’s not your usual practice), it’s best to stay alert. This phenomenon is very common in cases of hyperglycemia and can even disrupt your sleep without you understanding why.

Persistent fatigue
Do you sleep well, but feel exhausted first thing in the morning? Do you have trouble concentrating or making it through the day without yawning? Sugar may be the culprit again. If your body can’t use glucose properly, it runs out of energy. And that tiredness becomes a constant feeling , even after a good weekend of rest.
