A missed meal here, a new prescription there, and suddenly blood sugar\u2019s acting up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common reasons include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Changes in appetite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New or adjusted medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less physical activity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Memory trouble<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kidney changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other health conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why a steady routine matters so much.

It may look mild at first, but it can wear a person down over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common signs include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strong thirst<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent trips to the bathroom<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blurry vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tiredness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Headache<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight loss without trying<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cuts that heal slowly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If blood sugar stays high too long, it can harm the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.
