Although high blood sugar is already a very common chronic disease, many people still do not understand their own blood sugar levels very well in life. Most of those who do not pay attention to regular physical examinations may find it difficult to discover that they suffer from chronic metabolic diseases such as high blood sugar.
In fact, it is not difficult to know whether your blood sugar is high. If your blood sugar is high, there are usually three manifestations after meals. It is recommended to eat more “green” vegetables, which may help lower your blood sugar.
1. Manifestations of High Blood Sugar in the Body
1. Thirst after Eating
Although feeling thirsty after a meal is a common phenomenon, if you always feel unusually thirsty after eating, and even drinking a lot of water does not relieve this symptom, then it needs attention. This is often a manifestation of high blood sugar in the body.
Because when the blood sugar level in the body continues to rise, along with the increase in blood sugar, the osmotic pressure of the blood will also increase synchronously. At this time, the body may be in a state of severe dehydration, and this dry mouth, caused by dehydration, is almost impossible to be relieved by drinking water.
2. Hunger after Eating
In normal circumstances, people do not immediately feel hungry after eating, but for those with high blood sugar levels, they may quickly feel hungry shortly after eating, which is often a clinical symptom of diabetes patients.
This phenomenon mainly occurs because of the decreased insulin sensitivity in the body, leading to the inability of the food ingested to be fully absorbed and utilized by the body. Therefore, feeling hungry after meals is also a manifestation of high blood sugar in the body.
3. Drowsiness after Eating
There is a saying: “Spring sleep, autumn fatigue, and summer nap.” Feeling drowsy after eating is actually a common phenomenon, especially in the hot afternoon, many people may feel very tired immediately after lunch, which is generally a normal occurrence.
But if people always feel drowsy after meals for a period of time, and constantly feel very tired, it needs attention. This phenomenon may be closely related to the increase in blood sugar levels in the body.
2. Eating More “Green” Vegetables Often Helps Lower Blood Sugar
For those with high blood sugar levels, eating bitter gourd frequently can help stabilize blood sugar to some extent.
Because bitter gourd contains a nutrient similar to insulin, the supplementation of this substance can promote insulin secretion and help the body regulate blood sugar, assisting high blood sugar patients in keeping their blood sugar levels within a reasonable range.
Moreover, bitter gourd also contains rich vitamins and plant fibers, and the supplementation of these substances can help promote the metabolism of toxins and waste in the body, which is very helpful in preventing various complications caused by high blood sugar.
