Persistent thirst is a classic sign of high blood sugar. If you find yourself constantly drinking water but still feeling dehydrated, especially at night, it could be more than just dry air. It could be undiagnosed diabetes.
3. You have unexpected weight or muscle loss
Some people think that losing weight without effort is a good thing, but it can also be a warning sign. If the body can’t absorb glucose properly, it begins to break down fat and muscle for energy. This causes weight loss, even if blood sugar levels are dangerously high.
4. You crave sugar more than usual
High blood sugar should make you feel full, right? Ironically, the opposite often happens. When your body is insulin resistant, your cells are hungry and clamor for more sugar. If you constantly crave sweets or carbohydrates, it might not be a lack of willpower. It could be your metabolism sending you distress signals.
