Symptoms of high & low blood sugar 🍭
If you have constant cravings, have low energy, & constant mood swings, you may need to pay attention to your blood sugar more!!
when you eat sugar, the sugar in your blood increases which triggers insulin to lower your blood glucose levels. When you’re constantly spiking your blood sugar with sugar, insulin has to work harder!
sometimes, insulin can become resistant to glucose spikes and your blood glucose increases which causes health issues!
you’re also more sensitive to blood sugar highs and lows!
With PCOS, my blood sugar feels all over the place & I cannot function if my blood sugar gets too low!!
Here are some symptoms of low blood sugar:
shakiness
fatigue
sweating
Difficulty concentrating
hunger or nausea
irregular or fast heartbeat
if I eat a lot more carbs I tend to get yeast infections & my PCOS symptoms get worse!
Here’s symptoms of high blood sugar:
frequent urination
Blurred vision
recurrent infections
headaches
increased thirst
weakness
It’s good to be aware of these symptoms if they become constant or extreme! Blood sugar spikes are normal and to not be avoided but it’s just when they become excessive is when it can become a problem.
Hope this helps!!

Maintaining balanced blood sugar levels is crucial for overall health. Both high and low blood sugar can lead to significant health issues. Common symptoms of low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, include shakiness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, while high blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, is characterized by frequent urination, increased thirst, and blurred vision. It's important to monitor these symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional if you experience them persistently. Managing your carbohydrate intake, especially for those with conditions like PCOS, can help in maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity can enhance insulin sensitivity, which is vital for blood sugar regulation. Remember to prioritize a balanced diet rich in whole foods, including healthy fats, proteins, and complex carbohydrates to support your body's needs and prevent extreme fluctuations.
