With type 2 diabetes, the body is unable to produce a sufficient amount of the hormone insulin, or the cells simply stop absorbing it. As a result, a large amount of sugar from food accumulates in the blood, which cannot be transformed into energy.

A high level of sugar, in turn, can provoke the appearance of various diseases. To avoid unpleasant consequences, doctors recommend paying attention to several symptoms.

According to the experts of Diabetes.co.uk, dangerous glucose levels are indicated by a constant feeling of thirst, hunger and accelerated urination. As the doctors explained, these signs appear in the first stages of diabetes and are the most common.

In addition, it is worth paying attention to the deterioration of vision, weight loss and feeling of fatigue. “If you notice even the faintest signs of an elevated blood sugar level, it is vitally important to stabilize its level,” the doctors emphasized.

First of all, you need to go to the hospital and give blood for analysis. When the diagnosis is confirmed, you need to review your lifestyle and make adjustments.

In particular, it is recommended to change your diet, reducing the consumption of simple carbohydrates and harmful fats, and increase physical activity.
