Diabetes: Two signs when you go to the toilet you have high blood sugar - symptoms - Daily Express

Hyperglycaemia can be potentially dangerous if blood sugar levels become very high or stay high for long periods.

Diabetes UK says: “Your blood sugar levels go up and down throughout the day and for people living with diabetes these changes are larger and happen more often than in people who don't have diabetes.”.

“But hyperglycaemia can be potentially dangerous if blood sugar levels become very high or stay high for long periods.”.

In some cases, there may be no symptoms until the blood sugar level is very high, though you may spot some when you go to the toilet.

The charity adds that more and more people with diabetes are choosing to use a flash glucose monitor to check their sugar levels, which is a sensor you wear on your skin and that you don’t have to prick your finger to use.

The Cleveland Clinic warns: “If hyperglycaemia is left untreated in people with type 1 diabetes, it can develop into ketoacidosis, where ketones, which are toxic acids, build up in the blood

Diabetes UK says: “Hyperglycaemia, or a hyper, can happen when your blood glucose (sugar) levels are too high – usually above 7mmol/l before a meal and above 8.5mmol/l two hours after a meal.”
