Sign Of Prediabetes From Your Skin

 Your Skin: The Body’s Largest Organ Sending Warning Signs

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and often emits warning signs when something isn't right. Recognizing these signs can help us reverse Pre-diabetes before it turns into type 2 diabetes or even aid in proper diagnosis.

Did you know that 1 in 3 people with diabetes don’t know they have it?

Swipe through to discover the 7 key signs of type 2 Diabetes and understand their underlying causes:

 Darkened Skin Patches (Acanthosis Nigricans)
High insulin levels trigger the formation of velvety, darkened areas in body folds like the neck and armpits.

 Skin Tags
Small, benign growths in areas of high insulin, such as the neck and armpits, signal elevated insulin levels.

 Thinning Hair
Hormonal imbalances from Pre-diabetes disrupt normal hair growth cycles, leading to noticeable hair loss.

 Adult Acne
Elevated insulin and IGF-1 levels increase oil production and skin cell growth, causing persistent breakouts.

 Swollen Ankles
Pre-diabetes leads to fluid retention and poor circulation, resulting in puffiness in the ankles and feet.

 Scalloped Tongue
Nutrient deficiencies caused by Pre-diabetes affect your tongue’s appearance, leading to a swollen and scalloped look.

 Low Sex Drive
Hormonal imbalances and reduced energy levels from Pre-diabetes impact your libido and sexual health.
