Diabetes refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar. Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up muscles and tissues. It is also the main source of energy for the brain, according to the Mayo Clinic. According to the India website, there are several signs that may indicate a person is experiencing high blood sugar levels, as follows:
1. **Blurred Vision**
Blurred vision is an early symptom of increased insulin levels. A person may struggle to focus on objects and feel discomfort from fuzzy vision.
2. **Floaters**
Floaters in a person's field of vision appear as small spots or dark specks that float while the person looks at objects.
3. **Frequent Urination**
As diabetes progresses, the kidneys may not function optimally, leading to significantly increased urination.
4. **Skin Itching**
Due to dehydration caused by frequent urination, there is an increased urge to scratch the skin.
5. **Slow Healing of Wounds**
Elevated blood sugar levels can lead to decreased blood flow, which may damage nerves or slow down the healing process of wounds.
6. **Weight Fluctuations**
Unexplained weight loss or weight gain can be an early indicator of diabetes.
