A simple and often ignored symptom that indicates hidden diabetes

Medical professionals have named one of the simplest and often ignored symptoms that can indicate the development of hidden prediabetes or early stage diabetes - it's persistent dry mouth.

According to specialists, the feeling of thirst and dry mucous membranes may indicate disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism in the body. With hidden diabetes, blood sugar levels may already exceed the norm, but have not yet reached the critical values characteristic of diagnosed diabetes. During this period, symptoms manifest weakly, and dry mouth is one of the first warning signs.

In addition, doctors recommend paying attention to symptoms such as frequent urination, quick fatigue, deteriorating vision, and slow wound healing. These symptoms together may indicate the development of the disease.

Medical professionals advise not to delay visiting a doctor and to get a blood glucose test if such signs appear. Early detection of hidden diabetes allows for timely treatment and avoidance of serious complications.
