RE: effecta of high blood glucose levels

[Guest guest]

Basically, when your blood glucose level gets too high, your blood thickens,

causing sleepiness because your brain is not getting enough oxygen. high BGL's

also cause damage to organs, and can cause grumpiness (raises hand in

acceptence to this).

Can't say how many times my mother would say, " your attitude sucks " while I was

growing up.

I'm not sure, but I still get grumpy when my BGL's are high.

Your blood doesn't thicken. High blood sugar harms the red blood cells when

glucose attaches to them and starves them for oxygen. This helps lead to ketosis

I think it is, which is key to doing harm to internal organs.

Dave,

You are correct. More specifically when the red blood cells are loaded down

with sugar they do not have room to carry the oxygen.

This is *NOT* a good situation as the muscles, nerves and various organs

need to oxygen in order to function.
