The treatment of diabetes is diet, medications and exercise.
If something happens with this treatment you could develop high blood glucose level or hyperglycemia.
One of the first symptoms of high blood glucose might be dry mouth and thirsty, urinating more than usual, fatigue and maybe vision problems.
If you blood glucose gets too high it could cause a serious condition called diabetic ketoacidosis.
Hyperglycemia can be caused by eating too much food, eating sweets, forgetting to take your medications, stress, not exercising or you might need an adjustment in your medications.
So, if this happens and you know that you are doing all of the right things call your doctor's office for a visit immediately.
Diabetes can be controlled, but it will take vigilance in the areas of diet, exercise and medications.

If you are on insulin usually an evening snack would be indicated for you.
Remember that the highs and lows of blood sugar can be avoided if you are consistent in your treatment of diet, exercise and medications.
