Symptoms of High or Low Blood Glucose

Being aware of the symptoms of high or low blood glucose can help you understand your test results and
decide what to do if they seem unusual. Here are the most common symptoms:
High blood glucose (hyperglycemia): fatigue, increased appetite or thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision,
headache, or general aching.
Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia): sweating, trembling, blurred vision, rapid heartbeat, tingling, or
numbness around mouth or fingertips.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, test your blood glucose from your
fingertip/palm. If your blood glucose result is displayed as LO or HI, contact your
healthcare professional immediately.
