Prediabetes often doesn't have noticeable symptoms, which is why it can go undetected. However, some people may experience:
- Increased thirst and frequent urination: High blood sugar levels can cause your body to try to flush out excess glucose through urine.
- 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 have prediabetes, it's important to get tested, especially if you have risk factors like being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, or being over 45 years old.
