20 Early Signs Of Diabetes

1. Dark Patches On Skin

Dark patches are often a tell tale sign of diabetes. This happens when insulin receptors are trigger in the skin, causing mutations that can appear dark or irregular in shape and size. 

2. Increased Thirst

If you feel parched even after driving a full bottle of water, it could be a sign of diabetes. Because the body can’t properly metabolize the glucose in a person with diabetes’ bloodstream, it’s excreted through urination, pulling extra water from various parts of the body. This can lead to extreme thirst even when you think you are fully hydrated.

3. Hunger

If you find that you are hungry even after finishing a 3 course meal, it could be a result of unchecked diabetes. This is because diabetes prevents a person from using an adequate amount of glucose, resulting in excess hunger.
