What are the warning signs of abnormal blood sugar in middle age?

Starch is absorbed by the body and converted into glucose. Glucose in the blood combines with insulin to enter cells and provide energy for cell activity. Insulin hormone is secreted by the pancreas, according to the health magazine Healthline (USA).

A rapid heartbeat can be a warning sign that blood sugar is dropping too low.

Aging causes many organs in the body to function less well, including the pancreas. As we enter middle age, the pancreas may begin to secrete less insulin. As a result, blood sugar levels can fluctuate, sometimes too high and sometimes too low.

Symptoms of this condition include fatigue, loss of concentration, dizziness, increased thirst, frequent urination, rapid heartbeat, and headaches. In addition, many people also experience more worrying symptoms such as weight loss, blurred vision, or slow wound healing. These are all warning signs that blood sugar levels are unstable, easily falling into a state of being too high or too low.

This condition, if not detected and treated properly, will lead to type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can lead to a series of health complications later on. Therefore, regular health check-ups play an extremely important role in helping to detect the disease early.

In many cases, regular checkups can help doctors detect problems when a person is only in the prediabetic stage. Doctors can prescribe medications to control blood sugar and lifestyle changes, from diet to exercise.

Without proper intervention, prediabetes can develop into type 2 diabetes. This can lead to a host of complications including damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, feet, and heart. Some brain functions can also be impaired.

A study published in the journal Diabetes Cares found that people with untreated diabetes are 2.6 times more likely to have a stroke than people without diabetes.

Measures such as taking medication as prescribed by your doctor, exercising regularly, and eating a healthy diet will help control blood sugar well and prevent complications, according to Healthline.
