Symptoms of High or Low Blood Sugar
Being aware of the symptoms of high or low blood sugar can help you understand your test results and decide what
to do if they seem unusual. Here are some common symptoms:
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia): increased fatigue, increased appetite or increased thirst, frequent urination, blurred
vision, headache, general aching, or vomiting.
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): sweating, trembling, blurred vision, rapid heartbeat, tingling or numbness around
mouth or fingertips.
