\nBlood sugar, or blood glucose, is a primary source of fuel for your cells, essential for daily functioning. Your pancreas produces insulin to regulate glucose, helping it enter your cells. However, when insulin resistance occurs or your pancreas cannot produce enough insulin, it results in high blood sugar, also called hyperglycemia.\n
\nConstant Thirst One of the first signs of high blood sugar is persistent thirst. When blood sugar is high, the kidneys work overtime to filter and absorb excess glucose, leading to dehydration. This results in an insatiable thirst that isn\u2019t easily quenched.\n\n

Risks of Untreated High Blood Sugar\n

\nCardiovascular disease: High blood sugar can cause damage to blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
