15 Warning Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes

11. Worse Vision

Blurry vision is often one of the first warning signs of diabetes. If your blood sugar is too high, fluid may be pulled from the lenses of your eyes. This may make it more difficult for your eyes to focus so things become blurry. A blurred field of vision, flashes, and spots of light will disappear once blood sugar returns to normal. If blood sugar levels are uncontrolled, blood gets thicker. Thicker blood pulls in more fluid from surrounding tissues including the lenses of the eye thus impacting the ability to focus. High blood sugar can cause the lens of the eye to swell. The ultimate consequence could be blindness.

10. Slow Healing

Be careful around knives, blades and everything sharp in general. You may have to consider getting checked in case you noticed that your cuts and wounds are healing very slowly. Plus, if you do have diabetes, you’re more likely to get infected thanks to your weakened immune system.
