8 prediabetes signs you must know before it’s too late
🔎 Today, we’ll explore 8 pre-diabetes signs you must know before it’s too late. It’s the last opportunity to act before diabetes takes over.

8. Unexplained Weight Loss
Pre-diabetics may experience weight loss as their cells don't respond effectively to insulin, causing glucose to not be delivered and used for energy. This results in the breakdown of stored fat and muscle for energy. Eating a balanced diet, limiting processed foods, sugar, and carbohydrates, and regular exercise can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and avoid insulin resistance.

7. Increased thirst and urination are sneaky symptoms of diabetes caused by excess glucose in the blood. It can damage blood vessels and kidneys and may be the only warning sign of pre-diabetes. Get your blood sugar levels checked if you experience these symptoms.

6. Blurred vision can be a warning sign of diabetes due to high levels of glucose affecting blood vessels in the eyes. Eating foods rich in beta carotene, lutein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, zinc, and antioxidants like fish, nuts, seeds, berries, and leafy greens can help improve eye health and blood sugar.

5. Slow Wound Healing
Inefficient insulin and glucose cause inflammation and reduce the ability of white blood cells to fight infections, leading to a slower healing process of wounds. Keeping skin clean and dry can help wounds heal faster.

4. Fatigue
Insulin dysfunction reduces the availability of glucose for energy production, leading to tiredness and fatigue. Exercise can help by burning glucose, improving insulin regulation, and releasing endorphins that boost energy levels.

3. Dry and Itchy Skin
Dehydration due to the body expelling excess blood glucose and damaged blood vessels prevent nutrients from reaching the skin, resulting in dry and itchy skin. Moisturizing, avoiding hot showers, and patting skin dry after showering can alleviate these problems.

2. Mood Swings
Blood sugar levels affect mood because the brain uses sugar for energy. Diabetics and pre-diabetics have trouble controlling their blood sugar levels and are more likely to experience mood problems.

1. Numbness & Tingling In Hands And Feet
High blood sugar damages the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to nerves, leading to peripheral neuropathy, which causes numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet. If left untreated, it can worsen and lead to serious complications, including amputation.
