If you have two or more of these pre-diabetes symptoms, you should seriously consider checking it yourself:

1) If you feel thirsty, not just after strenuous exercise or hot weather.

2) You seem to have dry mouth frequently-even if you just had a drink.

3) You find that you have to urinate frequently.

4) You have unexpected weight loss or gain (even though you may often be hungry and eat well. Of course, you may have eaten the wrong thing, which may worsen your pre-diabetes symptoms).

5) You feel drowsy. You always feel as if you have no energy. You are always weak and tired.

6) Sometimes your vision is blurred-be careful, eye diseases caused by untreated diabetes may cause blindness. You should have regular eye exams, especially as you get older, because your eyes may be a warning sign of many diseases (not just diabetes).

7) You have wounds, sores or bruises (especially feet) that heal slowly.

8) If you experience excessive itching or soreness in the genital area or a yeast infection (which may be misdiagnosed as thrush), it may be a sign of excessive sugar in the urine.
