Symptoms of High or Low Blood Sugar

You can better understand your test results by being aware
of the symptoms of high or low blood sugar; this will also
help you decide what to do if your results seem unusual.
Some of the most common symptoms are:
High blood sugar

• frequent urination
• excessive thirst
• blurred vision
• increased fatigue
• extreme hunger
• irritability
Ketones (Ketoacidosis) from
untreated Hyperglycemia:

If you are experiencing any symptoms, test your blood
glucose. If your test result is below 50 mg/dL or above
250 mg/dL, contact your doctor immediately.
