Often diabetes, pre-diabetes and high blood sugar do not manifest themselves in unique symptoms. When a person suffers from latent diabetes, excess blood sugar or diabetes, he will not necessarily feel one or the other symptoms. Along with this, there are sometimes symptoms that manifest themselves in certain people. If you feel one or some of the symptoms or have been diagnosed as suffering from high sugar, pre-diabetes or diabetes, contact a specialist doctor for diagnosis, advice and building a comprehensive treatment plan according to your condition and characteristics.
