Here are 10 warning signs of diabetes:

Frequent urination: Most people urinate four to seven times a day, so if you find yourself urinating more often, it could be a sign of diabetes.
-
Increased thirst: When your kidneys are working overtime to expel excess blood sugar, you may feel constantly thirsty.
-
Extreme hunger: Excessive hunger can be a result of your bodys inability to properly process glucose for energy.
-
Unintended weight loss: Losing weight without trying can be a sign of diabetes, especially if you're experiencing other symptoms like increased thirst and frequent urination.
-
Fatigue and weakness: High blood sugar levels can take a toll on your body and alter the way it uses glucose for energy, leading to feelings of tiredness and weakness.
-
Blurred vision: Changes in your blood sugar levels can affect the shape of your eye's lens, causing blurry vision.
-
Irritability and mood changes: Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can impact your mood and lead to irritability.
-
Slow-healing wounds: High blood sugar levels can impair your body's ability to heal, leading to slow-healing wounds.
-
Dry, itchy skin: Diabetes can cause dry, itchy skin due to high blood sugar levels.
