How do you feel when your blood sugar is too high?

I am a 17 year old female. I want to know how do you feel when your blood sugar is too high?

Tired, and thirsty, but don't drink juices or pop which can get those sugars up even higher. Drink water, and see your doctor.
- *Frequent urination*.
- *Increased thirst*.
- *Blurred vision*.
- *Fatigue*.
- *Headache*.
If sugar is slightly elevated, you would have no symptoms. If sugar extremely high for some duration of time, you would feel thirsty (sometimes hungry) and you would be urinating every 1-2 hours. If sugar remains high for weeks, you might start losing weight.
