This is an important one ❤️ — and it’s good you’re paying attention.
Here are 7 common warning signs of “hidden” (undiagnosed) diabetes. Having one doesn’t mean you have diabetes, but several together are worth getting checked.
⚠️ 7 Warning Signs of Hidden Diabetes
1️⃣ Constant Fatigue
Feeling tired even after a full night’s sleep.
➡️ High blood sugar keeps glucose from getting into your cells for energy.
2️⃣ Frequent Urination (Especially at Night)
Your body tries to flush out excess sugar through urine.
3️⃣ Excessive Thirst
You drink more because you’re losing more fluids from frequent urination.
4️⃣ Blurred Vision
High blood sugar can cause fluid shifts in the eyes, affecting focus.
5️⃣ Slow-Healing Cuts or Bruises
High glucose affects circulation and immune response.
6️⃣ Tingling, Numbness, or Burning in Hands or Feet
Early nerve damage (neuropathy) can start quietly.
7️⃣ Increased Hunger or Sugar Cravings
Your cells aren’t getting glucose properly, so your body keeps asking for fuel.
