When blood sugar levels are high (hyperglycemia), you may experience several noticeable symptoms:

* Feeling dehydrated or very thirsty despite drinking water
* Blurry vision

* Nausea and vomiting
* Stomach pain

* Shortness of breath
* Confusion

It's important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and contact your healthcare provider if you're experiencing persistent high blood sugar symptoms, as they may need to adjust your treatment plan.
