Keeping to the title, the following symptoms could be signs that you would need to have your glucose closely clinically monitored.

• Sudden dizziness or a feeling like the room won’t quit spinning.
• Vertigo and tilting perception if you go from lying down to standing.
• Unexplained anxiety and nervousness.
• Confusion, disorientation, and an irritable mood or negative mood swings.
• Shaking or sweating – sometimes both at the same time or cold sweats for no reason.

There are several kinds of glucose monitoring methods. Some checks require bloodwork and extensive labs, and then there are at-home glucose monitors that check your blood sugars several times over the course of three to four days.

Can You Check Your Blood Sugars at Home?

Yes, you can check your blood sugars at home with over-the-counter glucose monitors. However, clinical glucose monitoring might be required if the numbers are consistently high or if you consistently experience the aforementioned symptoms.

Drops in blood sugar are called hypoglycemia. Sudden high spikes in blood sugar are called hyperglycemia. Both terms describe how your body deals with insulin, a hormone that your body naturally produces to regular glucose in the blood.

When your blood sugar spikes, it can cause the aforementioned symptoms. Some illnesses related to these symptoms include diabetes, insulin resistance, prediabetes, kidney disease, and neuropathy.
