There are five symptoms generally associated with high blood sugar, as well as a few other warning signs you should be aware of.
1. Are you thirsty all the time?
Increased thirst is one of the classic high blood sugar symptoms. There\'s a reason for this. Your body is trying to wash the excess blood sugar -- also called 'blood glucose' -- out of your system. Your body needs more fluids to wash the glucose out, so you become thirsty and drink more.
2. Do you make more visits to the restroom?
Another classic symptom is having to urinate almost as frequently as you get something to drink. This only makes sense, since you\'re taking so much fluid in. But remember your body is also trying to wash the blood sugar out -- and the fastest way out is to urinate.
