High blood sugar, also known as hyperglycemia, is often called the “silent warning” because it can develop gradually and may go unnoticed for a long time. If left unmanaged, consistently high blood sugar levels can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as well as complications affecting the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves.
Recognizing the early signs can help people take preventive action and protect their long-term health. Here are some of the most common warning signs and risk factors associated with high blood sugar.
1. Frequent Urination
High blood sugar forces the kidneys to work harder to filter and absorb the excess glucose. This can lead to increased urination, particularly at night. If you find yourself visiting the bathroom more often than usual, it could be a signal that your blood sugar levels are elevated.
