Currently, in many countries, the number of diabetes patients is steadily increasing. However, a more surprising fact is that there are far more people in the pre-diabetic stage than those who have been diagnosed with diabetes. In most cases, no clear symptoms appear, making it difficult for individuals to recognize their condition. Nevertheless, paying close attention to seemingly minor things and changing one's lifestyle can greatly help in preventing diabetes.

Five pre-diabetes symptoms (preliminary diabetes)


1. Weight gain

Due to insulin resistance, the energy supply to cells is impaired, and people experience false hunger, which leads to consuming more food and gaining weight.


2. Fatigue

A lack of energy and weakened bodily strength cause a significant increase in fatigue. In addition, sleep apnea can cause poor sleep quality, preventing the body from recovering and leading to continued tiredness even after sufficient rest.


3. Blurred vision

Excessive glucose in the blood affects the eyes, particularly the lens, causing light not to refract properly, resulting in blurred vision.


4. Circulation problems

The formation of blood clots can delay wound healing, and if hands or feet feel numb or sore, it may be an important signal that blood sugar levels are rising.


5. Slow wound healing.

One of the reasons for delayed wound healing is that high blood sugar levels can slow down blood circulation, causing problems in supplying oxygen and nutrients to the injured area. Additionally, if collagen production is insufficient due to reduced blood flow, the skin at the wound site may not heal properly. As a result, the processes necessary for wound healing are hindered or not properly executed due to high blood sugar levels.


Taking a closer look at these warning signs and making changes to your lifestyle, engaging in regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy diet is crucial. These small efforts can make a significant difference in ensuring overall health.
