Being prediabetic often doesn't cause noticeable symptoms, which is why it's sometimes called a "silent" condition. However, some people may experience:
- Increased thirst and frequent urination: High blood sugar levels can lead to dehydration.
- Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired, even after adequate rest.
- Blurred vision: High blood sugar can affect your eyesight temporarily.
- Slow-healing sores or frequent infections: High glucose levels can impair your immune system.
If you suspect you might be prediabetic, it's important to get tested. Early detection and lifestyle changes can help prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.
