In this video, I will share seven signs that indicate you might have diabetes or high sugar levels. While many people know that being overweight or obese increases the likelihood of Type 2 diabetes, you can still develop it even if you don't eat too many sugary foods.

Picking up on these early symptoms can help you beat diabetes if you act soon enough. Here are the seven symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus to pay attention to:

1. Unexplained weight loss: Your body breaks down fat and muscle because the sugar in your blood isn't going inside your cells to be used for energy.
2. Frequent urination: Your body tries to get rid of the extra sugar in your blood. In diabetes, the level of sugar in the blood is abnormally high, so lots of the sugar from the blood ends up in the urine, drawing more water out of your body.
3. Excessive thirst: Diabetes can make you feel very thirsty because you lose a lot of fluids from your body when peeing. Your brain tells you to drink more water to balance things out.
4. Blurred vision: High blood sugar levels can impact the lens in your eye, causing it to swell and resulting in blurry vision.
5. Fatigue: If you have insulin resistance, you can't use the sugar in your blood and push it into your cells efficiently, so the sugar builds up in your blood. We use sugar inside our cells for energy, so less sugar in cells means you're more tired and fatigued.
6. Slow wound healing: Wounds need good blood flow and oxygen to heal quickly. If your blood vessels aren't in peak condition, it slows down the healing process.
7. Itching in the groin/armpits/breasts: High sugar levels can make you more prone to fungal infections, which can cause thrush. These infections grow in moist areas and are more common in diabetics because high sugar levels can cause an overgrowth in them.
