Depends on what’s wrong.
For me if my blood glucose is way too high I can pretty much awful. My heart races, my eyesight is impacted, I can feel incredibly faint and desperately desperately thirsty.
If it’s too low then I’m freezing cold and can often have a pounding headache.
Of course that’s all a response to a dramatic and sudden change in sugar levels and if it’s gradual then it’s fine.

No questions are silly here @Woodside
And appropriately, this has the classic forum answer of “well... that depends” 🙂
Illness or injury can cause BG to increase, so as @ColinUK says, that can mean thirst, headache, lethargy and sluggishness.
Plus you can get all the feelings of whatever the illness is I guess?
