Diabetes is a condition in which the body struggles to regulate the amount of sugar in the blood, leading to high blood sugar.
The first signs of Diabetes are usually not detected by blood tests. Here are some early signs of diabetes you shouldn’t ignore.
1) Dark patches on one’s skin : The most common sign of diabetes is the dark patches of leathery skin which can be seen in body folds such as the armpits, neck and groin.
2) Craving for sweets : If your blood sugar is not properly controlled, you’re more likely to experience sugar cravings after meals.
3) Blurred Vision : You will not be able to concentrate on what you’re looking at. It can damage the blood vessels associated with the eye, causing blurred vision.
4) Frequent urination at night : When there is too much glucose in the blood, it binds with water, causing the body to retain more water.
5) Puffy Face : Too much sugar in the blood causes fluid retention which makes the face swell.
