A common early factor of prediabetes is increased thirst accompanied by frequent urination. When blood sugar levels increase, the kidneys work harder to filter and absorb excess glucose. If they work hard, the surplus sugar is expelled through urine.

These symptoms initially go unnoticed but tend to become more possible as prediabetes advances toward type 2 diabetes.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are popular, benign skin growths that can appear on various parts of the body.

Although skin tags can form anywhere on the body, they are most frequently appeared in the eyelids, neck, underarms, and groin area. While they are harmless, if you have a large number of them may imply an underlying condition, such as type 2 diabetes.
