How do you feel when your blood sugar is high?

2 Comments

I’ve had low blood sugar before but this feeling is different.
I’m on Metformin, not for diabetes though. I am trying to concieve and have PCOS.
I was feeling weird the other day and it went away about 45 minutes after I took my metformin. I’ve done that exact same things a couple more times. So it’s making me think I’m getting this feeling from high blood sugar.

Can’t concentrate and will feel moody. You may have muscle cramps and temporary blurred vision. You feel tired and thirsty and with a need to urinate often. You may also have a yeast infection. These are the common symptoms of high blood sugar.Metformin is an oral antidiabetic – non insulin dependent. In your case,having PCOS -Polycystic ovary disease or many cysts in the ovaries,the medication Metformin makes ovulation normal and that’s why you are taking the medication. I would like to add that in case you are overweight, losing weight may help you reduce insulin levels,stimulate ovulation and improve fertiity. Hope this help. Good luck!  Neida
