Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
Persistent tingling, burning, or numbness in your extremities may signal nerve damage caused by high blood sugar levels over time.
Why early detection matters
Ignoring these symptoms can allow diabetes to progress and lead to serious health problems, including heart disease, nerve damage, kidney disease, and vision loss. If you notice several of these warning signs, it is important to consult a healthcare professional and check your blood sugar levels.
Early diagnosis and lifestyle changes — such as healthy eating, regular exercise, and proper medical care — can make a huge difference in managing the condition and protecting your long-term health.
