The first warning signs of diabetes can vary, but common symptoms include:

  • Frequent urination: Excess glucose in the blood causes the kidneys to work harder, leading to more frequent urination.
  • Increased thirst: Frequent urination can lead to dehydration, causing you to feel thirstier.
  • Unexplained weight loss: Despite eating more, you may lose weight because your body isn't able to use glucose for energy.
  • Fatigue: High blood sugar levels can make you feel tired and lethargic.
  • Blurred vision: High glucose levels can affect the lenses in your eyes, causing blurry vision.
  • Slow-healing sores: Diabetes can affect your body's ability to heal wounds.
  • Tingling or numbness: High blood sugar can damage nerves, leading to tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.
