Patient's question:
I heard that my grandmother has been experiencing dizziness and confusion recently. She went to the hospital for a thorough check-up today, and the doctor said her blood sugar is a bit high. I want to know what causes high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
The harm of hyperglycemia is short-term; a single episode of high blood sugar does not pose serious harm to the body. For example, short-term hyperglycemia may occur under stress, or when a person is excited or highly tense. A large amount of sugar can also lead to transient hyperglycemia. Subsequently, blood sugar levels gradually return to normal. However, long-term hyperglycemia can cause pathological changes in all tissues and organs throughout the body, leading to the recurrence of acute and chronic complications. Such as pancreatic weakness, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, increased resistance, kidney damage, neuropathy, retinal diseases, etc. It is recommended to pay attention to a low-sugar diet, eat small meals frequently, engage in appropriate physical exercise, reduce weight to combat obesity, and simultaneously use hypoglycemic medications to maintain blood sugar at a normal level.
