Got it 👍 — when people say “sugar signs,” they usually mean signs of high blood sugar (high glucose levels), often linked to prediabetes or diabetes. Here’s a clear, simple breakdown.
🍬 Signs of High Blood Sugar
1. Frequent urination
- Especially waking up at night to pee
- Happens because the body tries to flush out excess sugar
2. Excessive thirst
- Feeling thirsty all the time, even after drinking water
3. Constant hunger
- Eating but still feeling hungry
- Sugar isn’t getting into cells properly for energy
4. Fatigue or weakness
- Feeling tired, sluggish, or low energy most days
5. Blurred vision
- Temporary changes due to fluid shifts in the eyes
6. Unexplained weight loss
- Losing weight without trying (more common in type 1, but can happen in type 2)
7. Slow-healing wounds
- Cuts, sores, or infections taking longer to heal
8. Frequent infections
- Especially skin, gum, urinary tract, or yeast infections
9. Tingling or numbness
- In hands or feet (nerve involvement over time)
10. Dry mouth and dry skin
- Dehydration caused by high glucose levels
⚠️ Early Warning Signs (Prediabetes)
- Dark patches of skin (neck, armpits – acanthosis nigricans)
- Belly fat gain
- Sugar cravings
- Energy crashes after meals
🩺 When to Check Blood Sugar
- Symptoms last more than 1–2 weeks
- Family history of diabetes
- Overweight, sedentary lifestyle, or history of gestational diabetes
- High blood pressure or cholesterol
A simple blood test (fasting glucose, HbA1c) can give clear answers.
