Cómo sabes que tienes diabetes?

I was diagnosed with borderline diabetes last year but brought it under control with diet and daily walks. My main signs were constant fatigue and blurry vision after heavy meals. Do get an HbA1c test done, it shows your average sugar of the last three months.

I panicked so much when I had dry mouth and felt weak, thinking it was severe diabetes. But when I met the doc, my levels were just slightly prediabetic. With basic lifestyle changes, I feel completely fine now, so please don't stress too much before testing.

I first noticed it when I was getting crazy sweet cravings out of nowhere, especially after dinner, and felt extremely thirsty all day. My doctor told me these are classic signs. Now I have to keep my love for gulab jamun in check and get my sugar levels tested regularly.

Actually yaar, I was feeling super lethargic and sleeping in the afternoon daily, which was not normal for me. A friend suggested a checkup, and my sugar was high. Don't ignore it if you feel tired all the time, just get a basic blood test done.

Please go to a proper doctor immediately instead of guessing the symptoms. I ignored my frequent urination and slow-healing cuts for months, and it ended up affecting my nerves. Early diagnosis is very important to avoid serious kidney or nerve damage.
