All Blood Tests

High blood sugar is extremely dangerous, no ifs or buts.

When your body reaches the point where through one reason or another, the glucose levels are unable to be brought down by the body’s means, then the situation can spiral out of control fairly quickly. Hyperglycemia is a term commonly used in medical circles.

Ordinarily, with a healthy individual with a fully functioning blood sugar control system this isn’t a problem but through a combination of the wrong lifestyle options and/or genetic disposition things can get out of control.

It is important to recognize the signs before things go to far.

o  Lack of energy at any time of day

o  Poor healing from cuts and scrapes, especially on the feel

o  Constant craving for high sugar foods

o  Constant thirst

o  Constant need to visit the toilet

o  Feeling blurry or spaced out

Make sure to keep close guard over all these classic signs and symptoms of kind 2 diabetes. Chances are, if things get this advanced you will already have some suspicion that something isn’t how it should be.

When things have reached this stage, there are several things you can do to help alleviate the problems quickly but you should certainly notify your local GP or doctor as well. Very high blood sugar levels ought not be brushed aside as something you will get over with a weekend off.

Several points of practicality.

Immediately stop the ingestion of any form of carbohydrate and sugar. This is a given, by this you are stopping adding fuel to the fire.

Only drink water, no caffeine or fruit juice, beer, wine, fruit teas, nothing just water.

Go for long brisk walks to help burn up the sugar in your system.

Don’t eat after 6 pm. Don’t eat anything.

Attempt to go without breakfast, and if you do have breakfast then make sure it’s purely protein based eg: eggs, meat, cheese.

These pointers can make you feel a little groggy but for the time being they will definitely help to bring your sugar levels back down to a reasonable level.
