6. Your Triglycerides Are High
High intake of added sugars can contribute to elevated triglyceride levels in some people.
Triglycerides are a type of fat measured in blood tests.
High levels can also be influenced by:
* alcohol
* excess calories
* obesity
* diabetes
* genetics
* certain medications
A blood test is the only reliable way to know your triglyceride level.
7. You Feel Thirsty and Urinate Frequently
Persistent thirst and frequent urination can occur when blood sugar becomes significantly elevated.
This is important because it can be a symptom of diabetes.
Other possible signs include:
* fatigue
* blurred vision
* unexplained weight loss
* recurrent infections
These symptoms should not simply be blamed on “eating too much sugar.” If they persist, a healthcare professional can check your blood glucose.
8. Your Skin Seems to Break Out More Often
Diet is only one factor in acne, but high-glycemic eating patterns may worsen breakouts in some people.
