why is high blood sugar bad?

Accepted Answer

Complications: In a diabetic a high blood sugar on a short time basis is a signal to change your treatment regimen.

Question 9

what are symptoms of high blood sugar?

Question 10

what is considered dangerously high blood sugar and what are the symptoms?

Accepted Answer

No exact answer.: Depends on situation.  In an uncomplicated case a bg of 600 or so will do nicely with some diet restriction and increased fluids.  I have seen patients with bg in the 1000 range with relatively few symptoms.  The symptoms of very high bg are generally related to marked dehydration.  Feel lousy, thirsty, hungry, headache, abdominal pain, blurry vision, etc.
