7 Symptoms Of Prediabetes You Shouldn’t Ignore

Unexplained Increase in Hunger

Glucose (sugar) is a source of fuel that helps run our bodies, but when there’s too much of it in the system, this could spell trouble. The pancreas, which produces insulin to regulate the glucose in our blood, is unable to handle an excess of sugar, which then leaves an abundance of it in your body that cannot be used for energy. For this reason, you may feel hungry soon after a meal since the food you already ate hasn’t been broken down and used effectively.

Generally, hunger is a sign that you need to eat more. But when related to prediabetes, this will only make the situation worse. In fact, the best thing to do is to drink plenty of water so the excess glucose gets flushed out. A gentle exercise routine to improve your body’s insulin sensitivity can also help immensely.
