Diabetes is often associated with older adults, but type 1 and type 2 diabetes can occur at younger ages too<\/strong>. And one of the biggest problems is that type 2 diabetes can develop slowly, sometimes with very mild symptoms\u2014or no obvious symptoms at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 9 warning signs worth knowing<\/strong>. \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 You\u2019re Extremely Thirsty \ud83d\udca7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Feeling unusually thirsty all the time can occur when blood glucose becomes too high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re constantly reaching for water and don’t have an obvious explanation, it deserves attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\ufe0f\u20e3 You\u2019re Urinating Much More Often \ud83d\udebd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

High blood glucose can cause the kidneys to remove more glucose through urine, which can increase urination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waking up repeatedly during the night to urinate can also be a warning sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\ufe0f\u20e3 You Feel Exhausted \ud83d\ude34<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Persistent unexplained fatigue can occur with diabetes because the body isn’t using glucose effectively for energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, tiredness has many other possible causes, so it isn’t enough by itself to diagnose diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4\ufe0f\u20e3 Your Vision Becomes Blurry \ud83d\udc40<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

High blood glucose can affect the eye and cause temporary or persistent changes in vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New or unexplained blurry vision should be evaluated rather than automatically blamed on tiredness or screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5\ufe0f\u20e3 You’re Losing Weight Without Trying \u2696\ufe0f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unexplained weight loss can be particularly important when it occurs together with excessive thirst and frequent urination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can occur with diabetes, especially when insulin deficiency is significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6\ufe0f\u20e3 Cuts and Sores Take a Long Time to Heal \ud83e\ude79<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

People with diabetes can have problems with wound healing, particularly when blood glucose remains high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wound that repeatedly heals slowly shouldn’t simply be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7\ufe0f\u20e3 You Keep Getting Infections \ud83e\udda0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Frequent infections\u2014including some urinary, skin and yeast infections\u2014can occur more often in people with diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeated infections don’t automatically mean diabetes, but they can be a reason to get checked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8\ufe0f\u20e3 You Notice Tingling or Numbness \ud83d\udd90\ufe0f\ud83e\uddb6<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Numbness, burning or tingling in the hands or feet can occur with diabetes-related nerve damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is more commonly associated with diabetes that has been present for some time, so it isn’t necessarily an early warning sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9\ufe0f\u20e3 Dark Patches of Skin Appear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dark, thicker-looking patches\u2014especially around the neck, armpits or groin<\/strong>\u2014can be associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This skin change is called acanthosis nigricans<\/strong>, and it can also occur for reasons other than diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\ude78 The Important Part: Symptoms Aren\u2019t a Diagnosis<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Having one or even several of these symptoms doesn’t mean you have diabetes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only way to determine whether you have diabetes or prediabetes is through appropriate medical evaluation and blood-glucose testing<\/strong>, such as an A1C or fasting glucose test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And remember: type 2 diabetes can be present without obvious symptoms<\/strong>, which is why risk factors and appropriate screening matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udea8 Don’t Wait If Symptoms Are Sudden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If someone develops extreme thirst and urination together with vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, severe weakness or confusion<\/strong>, particularly with suspected type 1 diabetes, urgent medical evaluation is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your body can give you subtle clues long before a diagnosis. Don’t ignore persistent changes. \u2764\ufe0f<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
