Are you certain your blood sugar levels aren’t on a rollercoaster?
If you don’t use a glucometer to check your
blood sugar levels every day, you can’t accurately manage your
type II diabetes, says
WebMD. This because you won’t know if your sugar is higher than normal if you don’t draw blood.
You need to keep a log of all your readings to discuss with your doctor. He may need to change your meds to help you keep your blood sugar levels more consistent.
Respond appropriately to symptoms that show a change in your blood sugar
Pay attention to your body. If you’re thirsty all the time and you go to the toilet often, it could mean your blood sugar levels are high. If you don’t drink more water to compensate this, you’ll end up dehydrated and it’ll worsen your condition leading to severe health issues and complications in your
diabetes.
Another obvious signs of a spike in your blood sugar is feeling tired all the time despite getting the right amount of rest. It could mean you’re not managing your
diabetes correctly and your body isn’t getting the energy it needs from your diet.
It’s important to take note of every change in your symptoms of diabetes! Discuss these with your doctor. You many need a change in lifestyle or treatment to help keep your disease under control.
