What's prediabetes
Prediabetes is when you have a higher than normal blood sugar level, but not high enough yet to be considered type 2 diabetes. There are some common symptoms that could possibly indicate prediabetes.
2/6
You are always thirsty
High blood sugar from prediabetes makes a person drink more water. That's because the body cries for more water to dilute the sugar levels and help the body get rid of it.

Frequent urination
A normal person urinates four to seven times in a day. People with prediabetes tend to urinate a lot more frequently. When blood sugar levels go up, the kidneys pull out more fluid from the blood. It's also due to the increased fluids you drink.

You are more tired
The body needs insulin to convert food into the glucose needed for energy. If it isn't producing enough insulin, it can't get the energy it needs from flood. This can make you more fatigued and hungrier.

Blurry vision at times
High blood sugar can cause glucose to accumulate in the lens of the eye and cause a blurry vision at times.

Mouth feels dry
Because the body is using most fluids to make urine, there won't be enough moisture in your mouth. This could lead to dryness of the mouth. High blood sugar and dry mouth together can lead to tooth and gum problems.
