5. Blurred Vision
High blood sugar can lead to the lenses in your eyes to swell, leading to blurred vision. If you notice changes in your eyesight, it might be time to check your blood sugar levels.
6. Slow Healing Wounds
If you notice that wounds and bruises take a long time to heal, it could be an imbalance in your blood sugar level. High levels will cause the body’s immune system to become weakened, which means it won’t be able to fight off infections properly or recover from injuries as quickly.
7. Frequent Infections
High blood sugar can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections such as gum, skin infections or urinary tract. If you notice that you are getting infections more often than usual, it could be a sign of high blood sugar levels.
