Feeling sluggish, thirsty, or noticing frequent urination? These could be signs of high glucose levels, also known as hyperglycemia. But what exactly does it mean, and what can you do about it?
Simply put, high glucose levels indicate that there's too much sugar circulating in your blood. This often happens when your body isn't producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps sugar enter cells for energy) or when your body isn't using insulin properly.
Several factors can contribute to high glucose, including diet (especially sugary drinks and processed foods), lack of physical activity, stress, and certain medications. Untreated high glucose can lead to serious health complications over time, so it's crucial to understand your blood sugar levels and take steps to manage them.
