Nausea can be a symptom of high blood sugar, also known as hyperglycemia. When blood sugar levels rise above normal, it can affect the body's metabolism and cause various symptoms, including nausea.
Mechanisms:
Gastroparesis:
High blood sugar can damage the nerves that control stomach emptying, leading to gastroparesis, a condition where food stays in the stomach for too long. This can cause nausea and vomiting.
Ketoacidosis:
In severe cases of hyperglycemia, the body may produce ketones as a byproduct of metabolism. Ketones can accumulate in the blood and cause nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms.
Hormonal changes:
High blood sugar can stimulate the release of hormones that can induce nausea.
Other symptoms of high blood sugar:
Increased thirst, Frequent urination, Fatigue, Blurred vision, Headache, and Dry mouth.
Treatment:
If you experience nausea along with high blood sugar, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. Treatment may include:
Insulin: Lowering blood sugar levels with insulin is the primary treatment for hyperglycemia.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids is essential to prevent dehydration.
Gastroparesis medications: Medications may be prescribed to improve stomach emptying.
Ketoacidosis treatment: In severe cases, ketoacidosis requires hospitalization and aggressive treatment.
Keto symptoms:
