In a health conscious world it is easier to spot symptoms of diabetes in the early stages, which is known as pre-diabetes. Discovering and taking notice of early diabetic signs gives you a fighting chance of preventing diabetes altogether. Look out for these 8 pre-diabetes symptoms…

If you have two or more of these pre-diabetes symptoms you should seriously consider getting yourself checked out:

1) If you find you are excessively thirsty, not just after extreme exercise or hot weather.

2) You seem to constantly have a dry mouth – even if you’ve just had a drink.

3) You find you are having to urinate frequently.

4) You have unexpected weight loss or gain (even though you may be constantly
hungry and eating well. Of course you may be eating the wrong things which would

probably make your pre-diabetes symptom worse).

5) You feel lethargic. You always feel as if you’ve got no energy; you are weak
and tired all the time.
6) Sometimes your vision is blurry – be careful, untreated eye problems caused
through diabetes can lead to blindness. You should have regular eye checks,

especially as you get older because your eyes can be the early warning signal for many diseases not just diabetes.

7) You have cuts or sores or bruises (especially on your feet) that are slow to heal.

8) If you experience excessive itching or soreness in the genital area or yeast
infections (which can be misdiagnosed as thrush) it may be a sign of too much

sugar in your urine.

AT RISK FACTORS:
There are different types of diabetes; pre-diabetes, type 1, type 2, gestational
and maturity onset. Also, dependent upon your age, lifestyle, and family history
you may be more susceptible to developing diabetes. For example you may be more prone to developing diabetes if any of these factors apply to you: Your family background is African American, American Indian, Asian American, Pacific Islander, or Hispanic American/Latino. You have a parent, brother, or sister with diabetes. You are aged over 45 and are overweight you might be at risk of diabetes.
