According to the site “express”, we review the early symptoms that indicate high blood sugar.
Breath odor
In the absence of insulin, the body begins to break down fat cells for energy, but this process produces an acid – known as ketones – as a byproduct.
Itching
–
Constant itching is a lesser known symptom of diabetes and is caused by nerve damage.
High blood sugar has a direct effect on the nerve fibers in the body – and not in a good way.
Nerve damage usually affects the hands and feet, but it can actually develop anywhere on the body.
As a result, the body’s natural reaction is to start itching in areas affected by nerve damage.
Dry mouth
The medical site warned that high blood sugar could reduce the flow of saliva in the mouth.
While it is normal to occasionally experience a dry mouth, you should speak to a doctor if it continues to occur, without an apparent cause.

Erectile dysfunction
Type 2 diabetics may develop some form of sexual dysfunction, including impotence.
This is due to high blood sugar, which damages the blood vessels that carry blood to the penis.
