Diabetes affects how your body uses insulin, leading to high blood sugar. Left untreated, it can lower your quality of life and life expectancy.

Early detection is key—so watch for these signs: Itchy skin – High sugar in urine causes dryness, leading to itchiness or fungal infections.

Dark patches – Acanthosis nigricans (dark, velvety skin) may appear around the neck, armpits, or joints. Constant hunger –

If you’re always hungry even after eating, your body may not be processing glucose properly. Tingling in hands/feet – High blood

sugar can damage nerves, especially in your limbs. Frequent urination & thirst –

Too much sugar makes your kidneys work overtime, making you urinate more and feel dehydrated. Fatigue – Lack of glucose in cells

and dehydration can make you feel drained. Blurred vision – High sugar can affect your eyes by changing fluid levels,

impacting focus. Unexplained weight loss :

– Your body starts burning fat and muscle when it can’t use glucose. Slow healing – Cuts and wounds take

longer to heal due to poor circulation and high sugar levels. If you notice several of these symptoms,

see your doctor. Early diagnosis can make a big difference.
