What's a sugar high like?
955537
Depends on whether you are talking about a sugar high that is self-induced b/c you purposefully ate too much sugar or drank too much pop, or if you are talking about a diabetic sugar high.  With either you can shake, feel light-headed and a little "whacked out".  But if you are like me and have trouble with high blood sugar, then its nothing to mess with.  If you are just trying to act goofy by pumping sugar into your body, then good luck too you.

There is a possibility of having high blood sugar content periodically without being diabetic... however, it is a tricky tricky thing to deal with.  \n\nIf you have a high sugar count, keep testing.  Check for other signs and symptoms of diabetes.  Visit your doctor regularly.  It's very understandable that nobody wants to have diabetes.... but it is better to know than leave it untreated.\n\nI would recommend visiting some sites with diabetes symptoms for monitoring purposes.. although please don't just stick with that.  Ensure you visit a doctor.. often if need be..  \n\nI have a *strong* family history of diabetes with effects ranging from organ failure to amputation.  Sometimes, simply taking one pill, or a few other minor inconveniences can prevent these horrible effects..  \n\nJust be careful..  people care about you, and want to ensure that you will be safe.   *hugs*

Hyperglycemia. Glucose overload! Eaten too many sweets too soon.

Glucose levels can go as high as 1200mg/dl\nThis happens when you have un-attended diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes or infection to a diabetic who is not using insulin correctly. \nTo make you understand how the blood sigar level reaches those heights I will  talk about 2 hyperglycemia (high sugar) states\n\n1. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)\nThis occurs mostly in people with type 1 diabetes. There is no insulin produced by the pancrease and so, the body start breaking down fats and proteins for energy. The end product of lipids metabolism is KETONES. Ketones accumlates in the blood and can be detected in the usrine and such patients have fruity breadth. This condition is a medical emergency and can lead to DEATH due to dehydration, lack of glucose in the cells, Electrolytes imbalance and ketones in the blood.\n\n2. HYPEROSMOLAR HYPERGLYCEMIC NON-KETOTIC SYNDROME\nIn this condition, the patient is producing some insulin that prevents the breakdown of fats to get energy but this insulin is not sifficient enough to prevent hyperglycemia.\nIn this condition, the blood sugars ranges anywhere between 600-1200mg/dl. It is only in this condition that you would find such high blood sugars. In DKA, blood sugard rarely go above 750mg/dl before the patient goes in a comma state or dies. Both of these conditions are medical emergencies.\n\nFrom Greg\nMedical student

when your blood sugar levels are not in good control you will not feel well. its doesnt matter if they are HI or LOW. you need for them to stay in balance at all times. the only way to achieve this goal is the check you blood sugar level at least 4 times daily and write them down on a chart or in your blood sugar guide chart. this way you can visually see a pattern of HI's and LOW's. then you can act at once if they start of get out of control. its also a good idea to keep track of extra activities that you will engage in during the day and rainey days where there wasnt much activity during the day. this will help you to see if you have explained HI's or LOW'S or if you just need an insulin adjustment. this will also help your dr. to determine the right steps in taking better care of you diabetes also.

Extrinsic would be my guess. Fructose is normal fruit sugar, glucose is in your blood already. Intrinsic? Don't know, but sounds like a normal part of something. Extrinsic sounds bad.

Watch out for the sauces the food is cooked in or seasoned with; some of them are very high in sugar. Even some soy sauces are high in sugars.

Any illness will elevate blood sugars. Illness = stress = cortisol = elevated glucose.

It's call a sugar crash.  Your body is juiced up on the sugar from the food, raising your blood sugar through the roof.  When your blood sugar drops, you drop with it.  Best to avoid or limit sweets.

Better to avoid either.  High doses of refined sugar can lead to obesity and diabetes.  Artifical sweeteners lead to liver, kidney, stomach, circulatory system and mucous membrane problems. Pick your disease!\n\nI suggest you drink low doses of real sugar pop because won't harm your body as much.  Remember that coke has phosphoric acid, a powerful inorganic acid that if consumed in quantities can give you the ulcer of a lifetime, believe me, been there.

A blood sugar imbalance is either hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic.  That means your blood glucose level is either above or below the normal level.  The normal level is about 80-120.  A high blood glucose level may be indicative of diabetes.\n\nSee a doctor.

because sugar is good

Actually your breath would not smell like alcohol whether you were high or low.  But a person can appear to be intoxicated if their sugars are low and yes people have been pulled over for it while driving (which isn't a bad thing because when your sugars are low you shouldn't be driving).  When I persons sugars are high they tend to have a sweet smell to their breath and when they are low they typically have really fowl breath.

Levels up to 100 mg/dL are considered normal.Levels between 100 and 126 mg/dl are referred to as impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes. These levels are considered to be risk factors for type 2 diabetes and its complications. Diabetes is typically diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are 126 mg/dl or higher.

I am not a nurse or doctor,however,I have been diabetic (type 1) for 36 years. A normal blood sugar reading is between 80 and 120, At 190 sugar spills into your urine. That's when you become thirsty, beyond belief, and start to dehydrate. You will know every washroom in the city because of constant urination. I have been hospilized w/ a reading of about 1200. That was with taking insulin. I had dental work done, and the infection got the best of me. Your reading shows you that your sugar is high, but it is the way the sugar affects your organs that can be fatal. When I had my episode, my potassium levels were screaming high,my kidneys had shut down,I lost the vision in one eye from such a low blood pressure. I was in a coma for a day before anyone found me. I remained so for an additional five days. During that time I suffered a heart attack. Diabetes can be hard to control, even with insulin. Sometimes it becomes more complicated because of the insulin. If you can manage it without..DO IT! Get on a diet recommended by a dietition, get yourself a glucometer to check your sugar at home frequently. Exercise. Show your family the way to deal with it should they eventually have it. Your circulation is compromised, affecting your legs and feet, eyes, and kidneys, skin. High sugar means you will have a harder time fighting infections. Your teeth and gums will need extra care-and you are the only one that can do it. Don't become blind or on dialysis because you can't pass up a candy bar or a chunk of cake. your family needs you, and when you look at their smiling faces, you'll be grateful to be with them. I know I am telling you scary things. I wish someone had really explained to me HOW these things could come to pass. It's because it affects the smallest,tiniest blood vessels in your body. You don't always "just die" from diabetes. You could live a long time with what it can do to you. Good luck to you. I would be so proud of you if you could turn this thing around to become incredibley healthy. This would be the time to do that. If you see that your sugar is rising,for no apparent reason, such as large meal,eating fruit,etc.,call your doctor. It may be from a sinus infection, earache,cut that won't heal. The infection raises your sugar, your sugar makes it difficult to get rid of the infection. And so it goes..round and round. Don't wait for a huge spike in your numbers.
