Symptoms of hyperglycaemia in people with diabetes tend to develop slowly over a few days or weeks.

In some cases, there may be no symptoms until the blood sugar level is very high.

Symptoms of hyperglycaemia include:

increased thirst and a dry mouth
needing to pee frequently
tiredness
blurred vision
unintentional weight loss
recurrent infections, such as thrush, bladder infections (cystitis) and skin infections
tummy pain
feeling or being sick
breath that smells fruity

Symptoms of hyperglycaemia can also be caused by undiagnosed diabetes, so see a GP if this applies to you. You can have a test to check for the condition.
