Already talked about symptoms of hypoglycemia and symptoms of increased blood sugar in previous articles, and symptoms of hypoglycemia (such as dizziness, chills parties and sweating a lot and sense of hunger .. etc.) begin to appear when it drops blood sugar to 70 mg / dL or less (this is for the people who have diabetes). Here, we must be aware that there are some people with diabetes, especially Type I diabetes have what is known as non-sense hypoglycemia symptoms. As for the symptoms of increased blood sugar (such as thirst and urination constantly and turmoil in the vision and fatigue .. etc), these symptoms are expected to begin to appear when blood sugar is more than 180 mg / dL, but are often more apparent when blood sugar is more than 250 mg / dL.

If blood sugar is less than 70 mg / dL or more than 250 mg / dL and you probably will not be able to focus and pay attention to driving. Especially for those who drive cars for long distances, where there are other factors may increase the deterioration of blood sugar, such as stress and irregular eating main meals, lack of sleep and other unusual circumstances while traveling long distances.
