When a person with diabetes does not feel to well, it is a good idea for them to check their blood sugar. Generally a diabetic feels bad due to a high blood sugar (blood glucose). Some symptoms of a high blood sugar are:
- becoming very thirsty
- using the bathroom more frequently than usual
- drowsiness
- uneasiness in one's stomach
When a diabetic experiences these symptoms, they should test their blood sugar immediately! If the blood sugar is up high, then give yourself an injection of insulin (if one is on insulin syringes) or a correction (if one is on the insulin pump). Once the right amount of insulin is administered properly, then within the hour the symptoms should go away. But is is important to DRINK A LOT OF WATER WHEN YOUR BLOOD SUGAR IS UP HIGH UNTIL IT GOES BACK DOWN TO NORMAL.
