While you might think that increased hunger is a sign of low blood sugar, it can also indicate high levels and complications with moving that glucose into your cells to be used. When your body can’t effectively use the glucose in your blood, it signals your brain that you need more food, causing you to feel hungrier than usual.

4. Fatigue and Weakness

Your kidneys work harder when there is excess glucose present in your body which lead to fatigue and exhaustion. It can also lead to drowsiness and sleepiness.

In addition, you might feel tired due to the changes in hormone levels that come with high blood sugar levels. The adrenaline your body produces when it needs energy is often absent because of the excess glucose levels, which will contribute to feelings of lethargy or exhaustion.

If you notice that wounds and bruises take a long time to heal, it could be an imbalance in your blood sugar level. High levels will cause the body’s immune system to become weakened, which means it won’t be able to fight off infections properly or recover from injuries as quickly.

7. Frequent Infections
