What to do if you have diabetes and are experiencing symptoms of hyperglycemia? Stay warm and drink lots of water. It is a medical emergency when symptoms increase to include confusion and decreasing level on consciousness.
Hyperglycemia is too much glucose in our blood due to defective insulin secretion, action or both. The common symptoms of hyperglycemia that we should all be aware of are increased thirst, increased urination, increased hunger, increased fatigue, an increase in incidence of fungal/yeast infections, increased healing time, and numbness and tingling. Do you or someone you love have these symptoms? You should see your doctor.
Management of blood sugar levels will decrease and slow the progression of neuropathy, which is nerve damage and narrowing of the blood vessels to lower legs and feet. I have a client who quit smoking and improved the neuropathy in his feet. His sensation increased and he had no more pain.
