Is sugar sensitivity a sign of diabetes?

Sugar sensitivity, or experiencing symptoms like fatigue, headaches, or irritability after consuming sugar, is not a definitive sign of diabetes. However, it could indicate issues with blood sugar regulation, which may be related to prediabetes or insulin resistance.

Key points to consider:

• Diabetes Symptoms: Common signs of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, and blurred vision.
• Blood Sugar Levels: If you suspect diabetes, a blood test like the A1C test can provide a clearer picture of your average blood sugar levels over the past 3 months.
• Consult a Doctor: If you experience frequent sugar sensitivity or other symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and testing.
