Many individuals who have type 2 diabetes are not aware of it until they make a blood test or the condition progresses, and severe complications begin to occur.
According to the director of Mount Sinai Clinical Diabetes Institute, Ronald Tamler, MD, for the most part, this condition is insidious and silent.
Most people do not have early signals. However, in some cases, there are some sneaky signs. Certain early signs of diabetes are well- know, such as sudden weight loss or gain, constant thirst, and excessive urination.
Others can be easily missed by patients and medical professionals.
9 Easily Missed Warning Signs of Diabetes
1. Strange Sensations in Limbs
This metabolic condition can affect and damage the nerves before we become aware that we have it. Damaged nerves result in tingling, numb and burning sensations in feet and hands.
In fact, this is very common when it comes to nerve compression in lumbar and cervical disc issues or other neurological disorders. However, it can also mean that we have a chronic disease.
Therefore, it is best not to ignore these signs.
2. Change in Vision
This condition can also affect our vision. Some individuals may notice floating objects right in front of the eyes, and on the other hand, some individuals may notice blurred vision that occurs because of rising in the blood sugar.
However, what is surprising is the fact that some individuals might even notice improvement regarding their vision. In most cases, the vision returns to its initial state once the treatments start.
However, if we notice any change in our vision, we should consult our doctor and make sure to do some tests just to be sure and aware of our state.
