If you have the possibility of getting diabetes in the near future, there are some early symptoms you can watch out for to consult a doctor and bring in some lifestyle & diet changes. Some of these symptoms could be
Hunger & fatigue → Your body converts the glucose from your body to energy. However, with high blood sugar levels, the cells are unable to break down glucose. As a result, your body will require more fuel to function, and you end up being hungry and tired all the time.
Frequent urge to urinate → When you have high blood sugar, it would be hard for the kidneys to reabsorb glucose, causing the body to produce more urine.
Increased thirst → With frequent urination, you are in shortage of fluids, and your body demands more water.
Dry & irritable skin → The fluids in your body are used to produce more urine to expel the excess sugar. Thus, a shortage of fluids in the body causes dry skin, mouth, and even dehydration in extreme cases.
Impact on vision → Losing fluids can impact your vision and cause blurriness, difficulty in focusing, and other impairments.
Weight loss → When the body cannot produce enough energy, it switches to burning muscles & fat, causing unhealthy weight loss.
Nerve Impact → High blood sugar levels have an adverse effect on the nerve, causing numbness in the hands/feet, which could progress to pain in the future if left untreated.
