10 Prediabetes signs to know before it’s too Late

  1. Elevated fasting insulin level
  2. Fatigue especially after a meal. Severe fatigue after a meal means an overwhelmed or broken carb metabolic machine. It is also a sign that the body cells are resistant to carbs. There has been a carb load overtime. Instead of the body converting the carbs into energy, they now use energy to dispose of excess carbs by converting it to triglycerides to control the excess sugar from damaging the brain. Low fat, high-carb diet elevates blood fat rather than high fat, low-carb diets.
  3. Poor wound healing
  4. Numbness and tingling because of peripheral neuropathy and poor circulation because of excess glucose leaking out to the surrounding sugars which binds to water. And this causes swelling that eventually leads to amputation in type 2 diabetes
  5. Kidney damage related circulatory issues in the microvessel
  6. Blurred vision (retinopathy) and it’s also a microvessel disease
  7. Frequent urination 
  8. Digestive issues and bloating from dysbiosis 
  9. Joint pain and arthritis. Insulin resistance causes inflammation and weight gain
  10. Hunger and cravings happen when the body is in storage mode. The body can’t break down fat for fuel because of the high level of insulin which hinders energy accessibility

Signs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 may fall on the scale for qualifying the progress of the ailment into full-blown diabetes. The other points to the warning signs of insulin resistance.
