I'm feeling a bit concerned because ever since I recovered from COVID, I've been super thirsty and really hungry all the time. I've started doing some exercise and going for walks. Could that be causing these issues, or might it be related to my recovery?

Once get your Diabetic and Thyroid profile done if they turn out to be normal you are perfectly healthy.

Is blood sugar in the 180-220 range bad?

A blood sugar reading of more than 180 mg/dL or any reading above your target range is too high. A blood sugar reading of 300 mg/dL or more can be dangerous. If you have 2 readings in a row of 300 or more, call your doctor.
