Prediabetes often has no clear symptoms, but some people may experience the following:
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Darkened skin patches, especially around the neck, armpits, or groin (a condition called acanthosis nigricans)
Since prediabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes without noticeable symptoms, 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.
