5 early signs of diabetes you should not overlook 

Meemansa Shekhawat

Here are five early signs that indicate that your body is heading towards diabetes 

1. Increased hunger: Diabetes can trigger an increased sense of hunger as the cells present in the body are unable to absorb the glucose present in the blood, causing less production of energy

2. Increased urination: Excess sugar in the blood affects kidney functioning, leading to a more frequent urination. 

3. Poor vision: Sudden or frequent changes in the vision can be a sign of diabetes as high sugar levels present in the blood affects the ability of the eye lens to focus. 

4. Sudden weight loss: Sudden weight loss can be triggered due to the inability of the cells to use the glucose effectively. 

5. Darkened skin: High levels of insulin can cause an increase in skin cells, resulting in dark and velvety patches on the skin folds.
