A normal blood sugar level is between 70 and 130 after you
have been fasting for a few hours. Blood sugar levels can be dangerous if they are too high or
too low.
Low blood sugars can be caused by not eating enough, or by trying
to lower your sugar too quickly. A blood sugar under 60 is considered dangerous. It can lead to confusion
or loss of consciousness, which can be deadly. It is important to have a snack
with you at all times in case this happens to you. If it does happen, think
about what you did or didn’t do that lead to the low number. If it happens
often, start writing things down to help you track what the cause is so that
you can avoid it.
High blood sugars over 300 are pretty
concerning. A lot depends on what your
sugar typically runs. If you are normally in the 200s, then a sugar of 320
wouldn’t affect you the way that it would for someone whose typically runs 150.
If your blood sugar gets too high, then you may have
Ketoacidosis. What happens is that the body does not have enough insulin to use
the glucose cells, so it starts to break down fat and muscle for fuel. This
causes ketones to enter the bloodstream and causes a pretty bad chemical
imbalance. Ketones can also be found in your urine, which is an easy way to
test. Signs of Diabetic Ketoacidosis are:
Fruity smelling breath, Rapid
breathing, Thirsty and urinating a lot, Vomiting or stomach pain
