1 How to Fight Diabetes and Win High Blood Sugar
2 HIGH BLOOD SUGAR It is very important to know the warning signs and complications of high blood sugar.
3 What You Should Know When trying to control your blood sugar levels, you will from time to time experience high blood sugar. High blood sugar occurs when there is not enough glucose-lowering medication (insulin) in your blood or the body cannot use the insulin it produces properly, causing your blood sugar level to rise above your target range. Mild high blood sugar is common for people with diabetes. Your doctor and members of your diabetes care team can help you make changes to your diabetes care plan to reduce the chances of high blood sugar. No matter how well you manage your diabetes, high blood sugar can happen. Because high blood sugar can happen quickly, you need to act IMMEDIATELY to treat it! Knowing the warnings signs and how to treat high blood sugar will help you and those around you get your blood sugar back within target range safely and quickly. Warning Signs There are many warning signs of high blood sugar. Your own signs may be different from those of someone else with high blood sugar. Learn your early warning signs of high blood sugar and share them with others who can help you recognize them. When any of your warning signs occur, you need to treat your high blood sugar right away! If not treated, high blood sugar can cause serious medical conditions that can lead to coma.
4 Below is a list of common high blood sugar warning signs: Blurred vision Difficulty concentrating Dry, itchy skin Extreme hunger Excessive thirst Frequent urination Headaches Heavy breathing Increased tiredness or fatigue Slow or poor healing of cuts and scrapes Upset stomach Unusual weight loss The warning signs of high blood sugar can be very subtle. You may think that what you are feeling is a result of some other condition. The best way to determine if you are feeling bad because of high blood sugar is to TEST your blood. What Causes High Blood Sugar Any one of the following factors or a combination of them may cause high blood sugar: Eating too many carbohydrates Exercising less than usual Not taking enough insulin Not taking the correct dosage of diabetes medication Feeling stressed Experiencing sickness Preventing High Blood Sugar In order to prevent high blood sugar from occurring, you should determine what causes your blood sugar level to rise above your target range. When you experience high blood sugar, ask yourself the following questions: Did I change my meal plan or eat an unusual food? Did I decrease or skip my exercise? Did I forget to take my medicine, take too little, or take it at the wrong time? Was I stressed about something? Am I getting sick or do I have an infection?
5 It is important to answer these questions, so you can know what causes your blood sugar level to rise. In general, keeping your blood sugar within your target range by sticking to the following recommendations should help you avoid high blood sugar: Follow your meal plan. Stick with a regular exercise plan. Take your medicine as your doctor advises. Try to lower the stress in your life. Treat infections or illness quickly. Test your blood sugar regularly. Treating High Blood Sugar If you do have high blood sugar, you should follow the set of instructions below to treat it. 1. If you can, test your blood sugar. If it is above target range, follow the instructions given in steps 2, 3, 4, and 5. If you can t test, follow the instructions given in steps 2, 3, and Do as your doctor has advised you to treat your high blood sugar. When discussing your diabetes treatment plan, your doctor should provide you with how to treat your high blood sugar. If you do not have instructions on how to treat high blood sugar, contact a doctor IMMEDIATELY and inform him of your medications, meal plan, and recent blood sugar test results. The doctor can best advise you on how you can get your blood sugar back within target range. 3. Drink fluids without sugar, preferably water, if not on fluid restriction. Water helps flush out the glucose your body is not using and helps you stay hydrated. 4. Wait 2 to 4 hours and test again. If your blood sugar is still above your target range: Repeat steps 2, 3, and 4. If you have repeated steps 2, 3, and 4 and your blood sugar is still above target range, test your urine for Ketones if you can. If your blood sugar is still high or you have moderate to high Ketones in your urine, call your doctor. IMMEDIATELY or have someone take you to a hospital emergency room. You may need professional help to get your blood sugar back to your target range. If your blood sugar is within target range: If your blood sugar level is within target range, continue with normally scheduled meals, snacks, medications and testing! Keep an eye out for high blood sugar warning signs and continue on to step If you are still experiencing high blood sugar warning signs after 8 hours or your symptoms become worse, contact your doctor IMMEDIATELY or have someone take you to a hospital emergency room so that the cause of your symptoms can be determined and treated.
6 When to Contact Your Doctor or Diabetes Care Team Member If you experience high blood sugar and any of the following is true, you should contact your doctor or a member of your diabetes care team: You have had 2 or 3 high blood sugar levels in a row in an 8 hour period. You have had 2 or more high blood sugar levels within 24 hours. You have had high blood sugar levels at the same time for several days in a row. You find Ketones in your urine. You feel extremely tired. You can t think clearly. You have trouble breathing. You develop an infection. You have flu-like symptoms. You have vomited more than once. You have diarrhea. You are experiencing any other condition for which your doctor or diabetes care team member requests you contact them. With regular blood sugar testing and urine Ketone testing when necessary, you can usually detect and treat high blood sugar before it becomes serious. However, if high blood sugar does go undetected, you may develop serious medical conditions, which can result in coma if left untreated. Extremely high blood sugar can develop into diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), especially in people with Type 1 diabetes. This condition occurs when not enough insulin is available to break down glucose and the body breaks down fat instead. Ketones are formed as the fat breaks down, and they climb to dangerous levels. Some warning signs of DKA include: Breath that smells fruity Shortness of breath Nausea and vomiting Very Dry Mouth
7 If you are Type 2 and experience extremely high blood sugar, you may develop Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome (HHNS). This condition occurs when there is enough insulin present to prevent the body from making ketones, but the insulin is unable to keep blood sugar levels from rising too high. Although HHNS does not occur often, it is a serious medical emergency. Some warning signs of HHNS include: Confusion Frequent urination Disorientation Low blood pressure Excessive thirst Severe dehydration Extreme fatigue Severe weight loss If you are experiencing any of the above warning signs for DKA or HHNS, you should contact your doctor IMMEDIATELY or have someone take you to a hospital emergency room! Emergency hospital treatment may include an IV to replace fluids and insulin injection. Help from Family and Friends Sometimes you will not be able to treat high blood sugar yourself. Maybe you do not recognize your warning signs, or maybe high blood sugar has made you too sick to treat yourself. Whatever the reason, teach someone else ahead of time to help you. It is important to wear medical identification stating that you have diabetes so that others are aware and can better help you in an emergency in case you are unable to communicate. Remember to avoid the dangerous effects of high blood sugar, you must be able to identify it and treat it. With the proper knowledge and tools, high blood sugar can be corrected quickly and effectively, reducing the risk of serious complications.
