Signs of high blood sugar

At any reference of the person in hospital, at it or him analyzes on definition of a level of sugar in blood undertake. These indicators are the main ones for determining the patient's health status. Thanks to glucose cells of the body are saturated and receive all the necessary energy.

But it's worth remembering that the body can not independently process the resulting sugar without a hormone like insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. There is a group of products that helps maintain blood sugar levels in both adults and children. Signs of high blood sugar may not appear immediately , so if you have any discomfort in the body, you should consult a doctor and get a check-up.

Blood glucose level

The sugar values ​​in the body should not exceed the level of allowable and, if to speak about the figures, the maximum permissible level of glucose is 100 ml / 1 deciliter. With minor increases in the indicator, the patient may not feel any changes. But, if the level is significantly higher than the required level, the symptoms will be visible "obvious".

Unfortunately, very few people know what sugar norms are considered acceptable.

Both men and women have the same blood sugar. But the exception is the period of pregnancy. During 9 months of gestation in the body of the weaker sex there are many changes, and the level of sugar is not an exception, which, accordingly, affects the development of the child.

It is worth considering that before you donate blood for sugar, you must give up food, since this affects the end result. Otherwise, the doctor should be warned about the products used, this will help to correctly calculate the indicators. The normal blood glucose level in a healthy person is considered to be within the range of 3.9-5 mmol / 1 liter. In the case when a person used food or drinks shortly before taking the test, the indicators may increase to 5.5 mmol. It is worth remembering that the parameters of capillary and venous blood are slightly different.

The blood sugar level in men and women is significantly different from that of a child, but the symptoms and causes of the changes are the same.

Symptoms of increasing the level of sugar

Both increase and decrease in blood sugar level will not be left without attention, and the body will immediately begin to respond to such changes. A sharp change in the level of glucose can be detected independently. This can be done for the following symptoms:

1. With a high level of sugar, the kidneys are actively starting to work in the person, and there is a desire for frequent visits to the toilet. The body begins to actively get rid of excess fluid, and this is dangerous for the health of the child.
2. Against the background of the first sign a constant feeling of thirst arises. The person constantly drinks water, but the feeling of saturation still does not come. Already with the manifestation of these symptoms it is worth to visit a doctor.
3. There is itching on the skin. In children, this phenomenon can lead to the formation of wounds on the skin.
4. Increased blood sugar can lead to inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system. There are pain in the groin in men, inflammation of the foreskin. Women may have itching, burning in the labia.
5. High level of sugar leads to the fact that a person does not heal different lesions on the skin.
6. In the body there are such changes as the violation of the electrolyte balance. Such changes are due to the fact that a person displays a large amount of fluid from which all useful trace elements go, this is especially dangerous for the child and his development. It manifests itself in the form of muscle and calf cramps and cardiovascular disorders.
7. In parallel, a person can feel a general constant fatigue, lethargy. In children, this manifests itself in a constant desire to sleep and inattention.
8. Another symptom of high blood sugar is a constant feeling of hunger. If a person begins to eat a lot, and as a result of gaining weight.

If the disease is more pronounced in adults, it is difficult for children at the first sign to identify it and in order to detect a high level of sugar it is necessary to take tests for glucose.

Causes of Increasing Glucose

There are a lot of reasons why blood sugar can increase, but the main ones are as follows:

1. The heredity factor. Genetic predisposition can manifest at an early age in children. Most often it is necessary to revise the diseases of the next of kin to determine the level of risk.
2. For autoimmune diseases. In this case, the body begins to reject its own organs, causing them harm.
3. Excess body weight.
4. Physical and psychological trauma. Often, violations of the sugar level are strong stresses experienced. At the child it can be shown in a constant irritability and nervousness.
5. Changes in the blood supply of the pancreas.

All of the above symptoms occur in the event of a disease, but there are also attendant moments that can change the glucose values ​​of a healthy person. The main reasons for the change in sugar include:

• eating foods that contain a large amount of carbohydrates;
• if low physical activity;
• bad habits( smoking, alcohol), very often this is the reason to become the main one in men.

Also in the risk group I can get patients who have such complications as:

• diseases of the endocrine system;
• liver disease;
• pancreatic disorders.

It is worth noting that increased blood sugar in children, whose symptoms are the same as those of an adult, is not significant, and for its detection it is worth paying more attention to the baby's well-being.

Recovery of blood glucose

Before starting treatment and normalization of blood sugar, we need to identify the causes of its violation. This can be done only after taking the tests and consulting a specialist.

Usually a violation of the sugar rate is a consequence of a disease and only if it is detected and treated properly, it is possible to bring the sugar back to normal. You can restore glucose level not only with the help of medications, but also use a certain diet, but only with the agreement of the doctor.

If a patient is diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, the doctor will prescribe a certain course of treatment for both men and women. In parallel, it is necessary to comply with a certain diet, which implies a reduction in sugar intake.

It is also necessary to add products that help reduce glucose levels in the body. You need to talk with your doctor about what foods you can eat with diabetes. For children, it is much more difficult to adhere to such a diet, but if it's hard for them to give up the sweet, then these products can be replaced with sugar substitutes.

In any case, with the slightest deviations in health, or a change in the state of health of a child or adult, it is worthwhile to visit a doctor and undergo a complete examination. After all, it can help in the timely determination of the disease and the initiation of treatment, which in rare cases can even be saved from the most deplorable consequences.
