Prediabetes symptoms

Prediabetes symptoms are roughly the same as the signs of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The most common signs and symptoms of diabetes are:

• unusual thirst
• frequent urination
• weight change (gain or loss)
• extreme fatigue or lack of energy
• blurred vision
• frequent or recurring infections
• cuts and bruises that are slow to heal
• tingling or numbness in the hands or feet
• trouble getting or maintaining an erection

However, some people may not notice any symptoms.

If you or a loved one is at risk of having diabetes, or if you suspect diabetes or prediabetes, contact a doctor immediately. Medical professionals can determine a diagnosis with a series of tests. Untreated or unmanaged prediabetes can lead to type 2 diabetes and other serious health complications.
