Unfortunately, women with PCOS often develop type 2 diabetes. Linked to this latter condition is a dangerous disorder called hyperglycemia, which is caused by abnormally high blood glucose levels. Even if a person is treating diabetes correctly, hyperglycemia can occur when the person becomes ill as a result of another condition like flu.Â
Â
Warning signs include dry mouth and extreme thirst, sleepiness and confusion. Rarely, coma and even death can result if the condition is neglected. More often, long-term chronic hyperglycemia can lead to nerve, vision and kidney damage as well as heart disease.
Â
Ways to avoid hyperglycemia include carefully planned regular exercise and a healthy diet for people with diabetes, as well as daily monitoring of blood sugar levels and diabetes medications under the close guidance of a doctor. Consult that doctor if symptoms persist because you may need to change your daily routine.
