Blood Sugar Alert
These symptoms will start appearing in a week as soon as the sugar in the blood increases.
When the level of blood sugar in the body continues to be high, then it turns into diabetes. Diabetes occurs when the body becomes unable to take sugar for energy, which leads to the formation of glucose in the blood. Whenever sugar increases in the blood, its signs start appearing in the hands, feet and lower legs or soles. Let us tell you that some signs start emerging within a week when the blood sugar is high. So let's know what are these signs which are first seen when sugar is high.
Symptoms seen in hands and feet
If you feel itching again and again in the hands, feet and lower legs i.e. soles or they start looking very dry and scaly, then understand this sign is high blood sugar. So recurrent, extreme itching is another lesser known symptom of diabetes. This happens because high blood sugar affects blood circulation. High blood sugar causes skin infection and itching.
If even your daily moisturizing lotions are not working and the itching persists, then without delay check your sugar. Itchy skin is a complication that arises before blood sugar damages the nerve fibers. Before nerve damage begins, high levels of cytokines begin to circulate in the body.
numbness of feet
If the feet start getting numb again and again, then it is also a sign of high blood sugar. The reason behind this happening is that the blood circulation is affected.
inflammation problem
There is also the problem of swelling in the feet due to the increase in blood sugar. There are two reasons behind this. One is the lack of blood circulation and the other is water retention. This happens due to the improper functioning of the kidney.
According to the report of Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH), if you stay physically active and pay special attention to the diet, then within 48 hours the blood sugar in your body can come to the normal level.
How dangerous is blood sugar
If you are on fasting then your blood sugar level should be between 70-100 mg/dl. But if this level reaches 100-126 mg/dl then it is considered as pre-diabetes condition. After this, if the sugar level reaches more than 130 mg / dl, then it is considered very dangerous.
