5 Warning Signs Your Diabetes Is Getting Worse

1. Frequent Urination and Extreme Thirst

When blood sugar is consistently high, kidneys work overtime causing frequent urination, dehydration, and intense thirst.

2. Numbness or Tingling in Hands and Feet

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by prolonged high blood sugar. It usually starts as tingling or burning in the feet.

3. Slow Healing Wounds

A small cut that takes more than 2 weeks to heal is a serious warning sign. Untreated wounds can lead to infections and amputation.

4. Blurred Vision

High blood sugar causes fluid to enter the eye lens, affecting focus and potentially damaging retinal blood vessels.

5. Constant Fatigue

When cells cannot absorb glucose properly, your body has no fuel and you feel drained all the time.
