8 Signs Of A Diabetes Symptoms

You should take these pre-diabetes symptoms seriously and get yourself checked out if you have two or more of them.

1) Not only after strenuous exercise or in hot weather, but whenever you feel excessively thirsty.

Despite having just a drink, you appear to always have a dry mouth.

3) You notice that you have to urinate a lot.

4) You experience sudden weight loss or gain despite being hungry and eating properly. Of course, you might be consuming improper foods, which would likely exacerbate your pre-diabetes symptoms.

5) You are exhausted. You always feel as though you lack energy and are weak and exhausted.

6) If your vision becomes hazy from time to time, be cautious because untreated diabetes-related eye problems can lead to blindness. Regular eye exams are important, especially as you age, since many diseases, not just diabetes, can have early warning signs in the eyes.

7) You frequently get bruises, scratches, or sores on your feet that take a long time to heal.

8) If you have persistent vaginal irritation or pain, yeast infections (which can be mistaken for thrush), or any of these conditions, you may have too much sugar in your urine.

Attributors of risk:

Pre-diabetes, type 1, type 2, gestational, and maturity-onset diabetes are among the several forms of the disease. Additionally, you may be more prone to getting diabetes depending on your age, lifestyle, and family history.

For instance, If any of the following applies to you, you may be more susceptible to getting diabetes:

Your family is made up of African American, American Indian, Asian American, Pacific Islander, or Hispanic American/Latino ancestry.

 

• You have a brother, sister, or parent who is diabetic.
• If you are overweight and over 45, you may be at risk for type 2 diabetes.
• You had gestational diabetes or had a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds after giving birth.
