Endocrinology-Diabetes Questions Blood Sugar

Are my sugar levels and headaches connected?

Every time my sugar levels go up, I end up with headaches. Is it only a coincidence or is there a relation between the two? Please advice.

Yes there could be a connection. Low blood sugar is more likely to cause headaches than high but in some persons high can cause it. You should see a physician, especially one that specializes in headache since headache is a bit unusual with high blood sugar be sure it is not setting off some other problem that needs attention. Above all keep your blood sugar in control not only to avoid the headaches but also to prevent the other complications we know are caused by high blood sugar.
