3. Extreme Fatigue
Feeling unusually tired or experiencing fatigue that doesn’t seem to improve with rest can be a subtle but significant sign of diabetes. When the body can’t effectively use glucose for energy due to insulin resistance or a lack of insulin, it turns to alternative sources of energy, which can leave you feeling exhausted.
Correlation Between Chronic Fatigue and Blood Glucose Imbalance
Persistently high blood sugar levels force the body to work harder to extract energy from the food it eats. This metabolic inefficiency can leave you feeling perpetually exhausted, even without prior intense physical activity.
4. Blurred Vision
Blurry vision can be an early sign of diabetes. High blood sugar levels cause the lens to swell, changing your visual acuity. Initially, this phenomenon may come and go, but as the condition progresses, it can lead to more permanent changes and even serious eye problems if left untreated.
