“I have high blood sugar and am experiencing dizziness”,
this was the latest message that we received from one of our readers in Europe . It is important to know that a dizzy feeling
is always a message which your body is sending you, many people ignore this mental
confusion and this can be a huge mistake. High blood sugar and dizziness often
go together, it is often a warning sign that the body is metabolically out of
balance.
3 common but serious reasons for feeling dizzy with diabetes
1. Super high glucose
levels
Glucose (sugar) is needed and it does very important things
in our cells, without this sugar we would not have any energy at all. In
excessive amounts glucose is a poison in the bloodstream, and this is the health
condition of the diabetic. The diabetic has too much glucose flooding into the
bloodstream and this causes a metabolically imbalance within the body. When
glucose levels soar too high it can cause dizziness. Always check your blood
sugar level with a good monitor immediately if you are feeling dizzy, report
any dizziness to your doctor.
*Please note that
diabetic coma is real and can lead to death if sugar levels go to high! If blood sugar levels soar very high it can
cause a person to get dizzy and pass out* call 911 immediately if you feel you
may pass out*
2. Dehydrate
One of the more common causes of dizziness in the diabetic
is due to dehydration. The typical diabetic does not drink enough water; a lot
of water is necessary keep blood sugar levels normal. When
we think of the fact that the bloodstream is flooded with sugar, wouldn’t it
make sense to drink more water to help eliminate this fluid? Despite the fact that water is very helpful,
many diabetics are not drinking any water.
When a person is dehydrated, their body produces a hormone
called vasopressin.
Vasopressin causes the kidneys to retain water and also
prompts your liver to produce blood sugar, which may lead to elevated higher
blood sugar levels. Over time, this effect may lead to insulin resistance. High blood and dizziness are often linked, are
you drinking at least 6 glasses of water a day? If you have a hard time
drinking water, consider squeezing a little lime or lemon in the glass of
water.
- Diabetes and mental confusion
High blood sugar can have a very detrimental affect on the
brain, diabetics often experience confusion, brain related fatigue and mental
disorientation. Over time diabetics are at higher risk for dementia and
Alzheimer’s disease. High blood sugar causes a damaging affect on the brain.
Dr. R. Nick Bryan, professor emeritus of the department
of radiology at the Perleman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania,
“We found that in addition to that,
there’s sort of diffuse loss of brain tissue, atrophy… we think may have a
direct effect of the diabetes on the brain.”
High blood sugar dizziness is always a sign of a body that
is out of balance, in the short term it may be a sign of seriously high glucose
levels and in the long run it can lead to Alzheimer’s disease.
