Increased hunger

Polyphagia, or excessive hunger, is another early warning symptom of diabetes. The glucose in your blood is used by your body to nourish your cells. When this mechanism fails, your cells are unable to absorb glucose. As a result, your body is continually searching for additional food, resulting in chronic hunger.

You may have tingling or numbness in your hands, fingers, feet, and toes if you have type 2 diabetes. This is an indication of nerve damage, often known as diabetic neuropathy. This syndrome usually progresses slowly. This is more likely to occur after years of living with diabetes, although it can be the first warning for others.
