Symptoms of High or Low Blood Glucose
Being aware of the symptoms of high or low blood glucose can help you understand your test
results and decide what to do if they seem unusual. Here are the most common symptoms:
High blood glucose (hyperglycemia): fatigue, increased appetite or thirst, frequent urination, blurred
vision, headache, or general aching.
Low blood glucose (hypoglycemia): sweating, trembling, blurred vision, rapid heartbeat, tingling, or
numbness around mouth or fingertips.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, test your blood glucose. If your
!
blood glucose result is displayed as LO or HI, contact your healthcare profes-
sional immediately. If your blood glucose result does not match how you feel,
follow the steps under "Unusual Test Results."
