Signs of Low and High Blood Sugar
Blood sugar explained
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) happens when there’s too much sugar (glucose) in your blood. It is also called high blood sugar or high blood glucose. This happens when your body has too little insulin (a hormone) or if your body can’t use insulin properly (insulin resistance).
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is common in people who have diabetes. But it can also affect people without diabetes. You need to treat hypoglycemia as soon as possible by consuming carbohydrates. If it’s left untreated, severe low blood sugar can be life-threatening. (Cleveland Clinic)
Why Refined Carbohydrates Are So Harmful
The biggest problem with the modern diet is our overconsumption of refined carbohydrates such as white bread, sugar, white rice, pasta, cookies, cakes, cereals, and sugary drinks. It drains your body’s vitamins and minerals that are required to process sugar. Over time, this depletes your bones, teeth, brain, heart, liver, and other vital organs!
Two Types Of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates, a type of nutrient in foods, consist of sugars, starches and fiber, including vitamins and minerals. Your body breaks down the sugars and starches from carbs. They end up as a type of sugar called glucose. This sugar passes into the bloodstream and is the main source of energy for cells in your body. Fiber passes through your body undigested.
Refined carbohydrates have undergone processing to remove their natural fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Regular carbohydrates, often called complex or unrefined carbs, are found in whole foods like vegetables and whole grains and are broken down more slowly, providing sustained energy, fiber, and important vitamins and minerals.
Natural Support to Reduce Sugar Cravings
- Licorice root – two capsules with breakfast, lunch, and mid-afternoon
- Super Algae – taken in the morning and at midday
Choose Low-Glycemic Foods
See the Glycemic Index of most food
Low-glycemic foods keep blood sugar steady and prevent insulin spikes. Examples include:
- Leafy greens, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower
- Zucchini, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, peppers, turnips
Be Cautious with Fruits
Even natural sugars can spike glucose. Opt for lower-glycemic fruits like apples, cherries, pears, grapefruit, peaches, and plums. Avoid fruit juices, and if managing hypoglycemia or diabetes, limit fruit until blood sugar stabilizes.
How Your Body Balances Blood Sugar
Your pancreas, adrenals, and liver work together to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. After fasting overnight, blood sugar is naturally low. What you eat for breakfast determines how your metabolism performs for the rest of the day.
When you start your morning with coffee, pastries, or sugary cereals, blood sugar spikes quickly. In response, the pancreas releases large amounts of insulin to move sugar out of the bloodstream—but this also:
- Promotes fat storage in the liver and fat cells
- Increases inflammation, the root of many chronic diseases
As blood sugar drops again, your body craves more sugar or caffeine—a cycle that can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
A Smarter Way to Start the Day
Replace sugary breakfasts with foods that provide protein and healthy fats to stabilize blood sugar by releasing hormones that keep energy and mood balanced throughout the day. For breakfast combine foods like eggs, Greek yogurt, nuts, seeds, and avocado with whole grains. Ideas also include a Greek yogurt parfait with berries and nuts, or a protein smoothie with Love and Peas or Nature’s Harvest, nut butter, and chia seeds

Traditionally used to support proper pancreatic & glandular function.
HY-C
Helps maintain already normal blood sugar levels
Nourishes the liver and pancreas

Signs of Low Blood Sugar (hypoglycemia)
- Feeling cold, especially in the nose or hands
- Craving sweets or caffeine
- Sudden fatigue or brain fog
- Difficulty concentrating or mild headache
- Pain or tension around the eyes
If not corrected, symptoms can progress to irritability, dizziness, or shakiness. These blood sugar swings affect both mood and mental clarity, creating a “roller coaster” of highs and crashes.
Signs of High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia)
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) is common in people who have diabetes. If it’s left untreated, chronic hyperglycemia can lead to diabetes complications, such as nerve damage, eye disease and kidney damage.
Common Symptoms
Increased thirst (polydipsia) and/or hunger.
Frequent urination (peeing).
Headache.
Blurred vision
You should see your healthcare provider if you are experiencing these symptoms.
Key Takeaways
- Refined carbs cause blood sugar spikes and crashes.
- Stable blood sugar means steady energy and mood.
- Start your day with protein and healthy fats, not sugar.
- Choose low-glycemic vegetables and minimize sweet foods.
- A low-glycemic diet helps correct nutritional deficiencies—the root of many health problems.
