Introduction

Diabetes is often called a “silent killer” because many people have it without realizing it. Early symptoms can be subtle or mistaken for other health issues. Whether you have Type 1, Type 2, or prediabetes, recognizing these signs early is crucial for managing the condition and preventing serious complications.

Here are 20 signs you may have diabetes without even knowing it.

1. Frequent Urination

If you find yourself heading to the bathroom more often, especially at night, your body might be trying to get rid of excess sugar.

2. Excessive Thirst

Unusual, constant thirst is a common signal that your blood sugar levels are too high.

3. Unexplained Weight Loss

Losing weight without trying could indicate that your body isn’t using insulin effectively, leading to fat and muscle breakdown.

4. Increased Hunger
