Prediabetes often has no clear symptoms, but some people may experience the following:
- Increased Thirst: Feeling unusually thirsty even after drinking water.
- Frequent Urination: Needing to urinate more often, especially at night.
- Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or lacking energy.
- Blurred Vision: Experiencing blurred vision, which can come and go.
- Darkened Skin: Patches of dark skin, particularly around the neck, armpits, or groin (a condition called acanthosis nigricans).
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider for a blood test, such as the A1C test, to check your blood sugar levels.
