  Insulin resistance can also create hunger throughout the day. This is caused by the blood glucose level swinging from high to low, like a roller-coaster. […] The insulin resistance, high insulin levels, and blood glucose roller-coaster create feelings of fatigue and brain fog. This is often very notable in the afternoon. People may struggle to stay awake and have difficulty concentrating. In addition, whether through the direct effects of the high insulin, or through the body-wide effects, people often describe feeling fed up.

  However, some people may have no obvious symptoms or signs at all. […] The onset of prediabetes symptoms can be very gradual. Many people may accept them as simply part of getting older, rather than realising that their body is struggling with how they are living and eating. […] Prediabetes is the result of the longer-term problem of insulin resistance. For months or years prior to prediabetes developing, the body becomes increasing insulin resistance. Insulin resistance means the body must release more insulin to try to keep blood glucose levels normal. This insulin resistance and higher blood insulin level (known as hyperinsulinaemia) causes multiple problems across the body. […] Insulin encourages the storage of fat on the body, especially belly fat. A waistline that is more than half a person’s height can indicate poor health. Even people that are not significantly overweight will notice an increasing waistline as insulin resistance develops. This belly fat can be stubborn and is typically resistant to being lost through exercise.

  https://www.uhc.com/news-articles/healthy-living/surprising-signs-of-prediabetes-and-risk-factors

  Prediabetes is an increasingly common condition that can sneak up on you without much warning. This condition happens when blood sugar (blood glucose) levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. About 1 in 3 adults in the United States has prediabetes. Understanding the possible signs and risk factors of prediabetes can help you take steps to improve your health. With prediabetes, your blood sugar levels are higher than normal. Prediabetes can lead to heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes (the most common form of diabetes). The good news? Prediabetes can often be turned around with lifestyle changes. Prediabetes is a silent condition and usually has no symptoms, explains Kevin Peterson, M.D., vice president of primary care and quality at the American Diabetes Association. Even though a person feels good, over time prediabetes can cause damage inside the body. Most prediabetes is found by a screening test in people who feel normal. In some cases, though, a person may have early symptoms of diabetes. Unexplained weight loss or gain, along with increased appetite, may be a symptom of both prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Are you feeling more tired than usual in your daily life, despite getting more sleep? This may be a sign of prediabetes. You may also experience an overall feeling of weakness. If you have any of these signs, reach out to your health care provider to get your blood glucose levels checked. Managing prediabetes and preventing it from progressing into type 2 diabetes may be possible through lifestyle changes. If you commit to living a healthier lifestyle, you may substantially reduce your risk of diabetes and feel better, says Dr. Peterson. Regularly monitoring your blood sugar levels is important for managing prediabetes and reducing your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. There are 3 tests that can help diagnose prediabetes. The A1C test measures the average blood sugar level over the course of 2 or 3 months. Levels between 5.7% to 6.4% is a sign of prediabetes. If your fasting blood sugar level is between 100 mg/dL and 125 mg/dL, its an indication that youre prediabetic. A blood sugar level between 140 mg/dL and 199 mg/dL after the drink indicates prediabetes.

  Prediabetes is an increasingly common condition that can sneak up on you without much warning. This condition happens when blood sugar (blood glucose) levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. About 1 in 3 adults in the United States has prediabetes. Understanding the possible signs and risk factors of prediabetes can help you take steps to improve your health. With prediabetes, your blood sugar levels are higher than normal. Prediabetes can lead to heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes (the most common form of diabetes). The good news? Prediabetes can often be turned around with lifestyle changes. Prediabetes is a silent condition and usually has no symptoms, explains Kevin Peterson, M.D., vice president of primary care and quality at the American Diabetes Association. Even though a person feels good, over time prediabetes can cause damage inside the body. Most prediabetes is found by a screening test in people who feel normal. In some cases, though, a person may have early symptoms of diabetes. Unexplained weight loss or gain, along with increased appetite, may be a symptom of both prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Are you feeling more tired than usual in your daily life, despite getting more sleep? This may be a sign of prediabetes. You may also experience an overall feeling of weakness. If you have any of these signs, reach out to your health care provider to get your blood glucose levels checked. Managing prediabetes and preventing it from progressing into type 2 diabetes may be possible through lifestyle changes. If you commit to living a healthier lifestyle, you may substantially reduce your risk of diabetes and feel better, says Dr. Peterson. Regularly monitoring your blood sugar levels is important for managing prediabetes and reducing your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. There are 3 tests that can help diagnose prediabetes. The A1C test measures the average blood sugar level over the course of 2 or 3 months. Levels between 5.7% to 6.4% is a sign of prediabetes. If your fasting blood sugar level is between 100 mg/dL and 125 mg/dL, its an indication that youre prediabetic. A blood sugar level between 140 mg/dL and 199 mg/dL after the drink indicates prediabetes.

  Prediabetes is a precursor before the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Adults with prediabetes often may show no signs or symptoms of diabetes but will have blood sugar levels higher than normal. The normal blood glucose level is between 70 mg/dL to 99 mg/dL. In patients with prediabetes, you can expect to see blood glucose levels elevated between 110 mg/dL to – 125 mg/dL. However, these levels do not meet the required criteria for a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. For this reason, many people are not aware that they are living with prediabetes. […] In the minority of patients who do experience symptoms, they can be as follows: Increased appetite, Unexplained weight loss/weight gain, High BMI, Weakness, Fatigue, Sweating, Blurred vision, Slow healing cuts or bruises, Recurrent skin infections/gum bleeding. The single sign of prediabetes is elevated blood glucose on a blood test that is not high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes mellitus. […] Approximately 70% of people with prediabetes will go on to be diagnosed with diabetes mellitus. However, this is not inevitable.
