Pre-diabetes often has no clear symptoms, but some people may experience:
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Darkened skin patches, especially around the neck, armpits, or elbows (a condition called acanthosis nigricans)
Since pre-diabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes, it's important to get regular check-ups, especially if you have risk factors like obesity, a family history of diabetes, or a sedentary lifestyle.
