2. Constant feeling of thirst or dry mouth
Unquenchable thirst is a classic symptom of high blood sugar. If you’re constantly drinking water and feeling dehydrated, especially at night, the problem probably isn’t just dry air. It could be undiagnosed diabetes.
3. Unexpected weight or muscle loss
Spontaneous weight loss may seem positive, but it’s often a warning sign. When your body can no longer absorb glucose, it begins to break down fat and muscle for energy. You lose weight, but your blood sugar remains dangerously high.
4. Insatiable craving for sweets
High blood sugar should make you feel full, right? Paradoxically, with insulin resistance, your cells are starving and “want” more sugar. Constant cravings for sweets or carbohydrates may be a cry for help from your metabolism, not a lack of willpower.
