According to information published on Xinhua, many people often ignore the symptoms that appear immediately after meals without knowing that they may be related to hyperglycemia.
Sleepiness, abnormal fatigue
After eating, the body uses insulin to deliver glucose into cells to create energy. When blood sugar is high but not used effectively, patients may feel sluggish, sleepy and lack energy even after eating full.
Persistent thirst
Increased blood sugar causes the body to excrete excess sugar through urine. This process causes dehydration, causing patients to often feel dry mouth and thirst more than usual.
Frequent urination
Thirst is often accompanied by frequent urination. This is the body's reaction to eliminate excess glucose in the blood. If this symptom appears frequently after meals, people should check their blood sugar.
Faintly seen
When blood sugar levels are high, fluid balance in the eyes may be affected, changing the regulation ability of the cataracts. Patients may experience blurred vision or difficulty concentrating vision for a short period of time.
Fasting quickly even when eating
The paradox is that even after eating enough, people with high blood sugar can still quickly feel hungry. The reason is that glucose is not efficiently transported into cells, causing the body to lack energy and continue to send signals demanding food.
Experts recommend that if the above signs frequently appear after meals, people should proactively check their blood sugar and maintain a healthy diet, limiting foods high in sugar and refined starch to reduce the risk of diabetes.
