Endocrinologist Explains Which Symptoms Actually Indicate High Blood Sugar

Endocrinologist Dr Himika Chawla clarified that while excessive thirst and frequent urination can signal high blood sugar, other symptoms like poor sleep are not specific to hyperglycaemia.

High blood glucose causes kidneys to expel excess water through urine, leading to fluid loss and increased thirst.

Experts emphasize that symptoms alone cannot confirm diabetes and recommend blood tests like fasting glucose and HbA1c for accurate diagnosis.
