What are the symptoms of high blood sugar

In daily life, high blood sugar has become a health issue that cannot be ignored. It not only affects our quality of life, but may also cause a series of serious complications. So, what are the symptoms of high blood sugar?

What are the symptoms of high blood sugar? When blood sugar is high, the body will issue a warning to us through a series of symptoms. The most common symptoms include excessive drinking, frequent urination, frequent eating, and weight loss, known as the "three highs and lows". This is because the increase in blood sugar leads to an increase in plasma osmotic pressure, stimulating the thirst center in the hypothalamus, causing patients to frequently feel thirsty and drink a large amount of water; Meanwhile, due to the body's inability to effectively utilize glucose to provide energy, the brain's hunger center is activated, leading to increased appetite; When blood sugar exceeds the renal glucose threshold, the kidneys are unable to fully reabsorb glucose, resulting in osmotic diuresis and a significant increase in urine output; Despite an increase in food intake, the body can only provide energy by breaking down fat and protein, ultimately leading to weight loss. In addition, high blood sugar may also cause blurred vision. High blood sugar levels can alter the osmotic pressure of the intraocular lens, leading to refractive errors. Patients may experience symptoms such as blurred vision and floating shadows in front of their eyes. Skin problems are also a common manifestation of high blood sugar. A high sugar environment can easily breed bacteria and fungi, leading to skin itching and recurrent episodes of athlete's foot. At the same time, high blood sugar can damage skin microvessels and nerve endings, manifested as dry and flaky skin, local pigmentation, or the appearance of anterior tibial pigmentation spots. In addition, we also need to be wary of some easily overlooked performances. For example, frequently feeling soreness in the waist and legs, numbness or pain in the limbs, and oral problems such as dental caries and gingivitis may be related to high blood sugar.

At present, metformin hydrochloride is the first-line drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. As the third-generation product, Neda metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets (III) have unique advantages. Compared with the previous two generations of products, Nida uses osmotic pump controlled release technology to slowly release the drug at a constant rate in the gastrointestinal tract, significantly reducing gastrointestinal adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In comparison, the blood concentration of Nida Hydrochloride Metformin Extended Release Tablets (III) is more stable, with a longer duration of action. It only needs to be taken once a day with dinner to effectively control blood sugar fluctuations. What are the symptoms of high blood sugar?
