Early Signs of Diabetes You Should Know

Increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, slow-healing wounds, tingling in the feet and blurry vision are the classic early signs of high blood sugar. Many people have type 2 diabetes for years without knowing, while it quietly damages nerves, kidneys and eyes. If you are over thirty, overweight, or have a family history of diabetes, get your fasting sugar and HbA1c checked annually. Caught early, prediabetes is frequently reversible with weight loss, a lower-sugar diet and regular exercise — the single most cost-effective health intervention most adults can make.
