Millions of people experience problems digesting foods due to conditions like glucose intolerance. Glucose intolerance is defined as having higher than normal blood glucose levels, especially a fasting level over 6 mmol/L or over 7.8 mmol/L two hours after consuming 75g of glucose. People with glucose intolerance have trouble regulating their blood sugar levels regardless of food choices. Symptoms of glucose intolerance include excessive tiredness, dry mouth, frequent urination, vision issues, and reduced muscle mass. These symptoms match those of type 2 diabetes, so it is important for anyone experiencing them to see a doctor and check their blood sugar levels.

Glucose Intolerance
Millions of people have problems digesting the substances in foods for one reason or
another, and many of those people are those who suffer from glucose intolerance.
This is an all­encompassing
way to describe a condition where a person’s blood
glucose levels are higher than normal. It is also sometimes referred to as
hyperglycemia. Sufferers of pre-diabetes and type II diabetes are considered to have
glucose intolerance as well. In fact, anybody who has impaired glucose tolerance or
impaired fasting glucose is said to be glucose intolerant.

What is Glucose Intolerance?
Medically speaking, glucose intolerance is defined as having a fasting blood glucose
level at least 6 mmol/L or above; and it can also apply to those who experience a blood
glucose level of anything over 7.8 mmol/L after two hours of consuming 75 grams of
glucose (the standard dose). Although many people experience blood sugar spikes
from time to time depending on what they consuming, people with glucose intolerance
experience this for extended periods of time and have a hard time regulating levels
regardless of food choices. There are some oral glucose tolerance tests available on
the market that administers this standard dose for diagnosis purposes; these tests are
simple and easy to use and give accurate blood glucose levels after two hours. It is
important to know if you have glucose intolerance, especially before you start
experiencing any adverse side effects.
Symptoms of Glucose Intolerance
You can tell if you have glucose intolerance or not by simply observing some things
about yourself. If you feel like things are not right, you should always consult your
doctor first. However, there are some signs that could be helpful to you in keeping
yourself at optimal health before you can see your physician. Interestingly, the
symptoms of glucose intolerance match those described for type II diabetes; however,
the two are only related in that one can lead to the other if not kept in check.
If you feel yourself being extremely tired or drowsy during large parts of the day even if
you got sufficient sleep, then you need to be concerned about your blood glucose
levels. Experiencing dry mouth or being really thirsty is warning signs as well; and they
shouldn’t be dismissed, especially if they are felt in conjunction with the other
symptoms. Also, if you feel that you frequently have the urge to urinate; this may also
be a warning sign that you have glucose intolerance.
Be mindful as well if you experience any vision blurriness with these other indicators.
Muscle mass is typically diminished noticeably in people with glucose intolerance as
well, so the signs are not difficult to spot. If you notice that you or someone you love is
experiencing any or all of these symptoms, you should consult a doctor as soon as
possible and have your blood sugar levels checked. Keep in mind however, that not
everyone with glucose intolerance experiences these symptoms, so you should be sure
of your personal glucose tolerance or intolerance regardless. There are lots of tests
available on the market designed especially for ease of use, so you have no excuse
not to know how you measure up.
