The first stage of diabetes is often characterized by insulin resistance, where the body’s cells don’t respond well to insulin. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels. At this stage, a person may not experience noticeable symptoms, but early detection through blood tests can identify prediabetes, a warning sign of potential type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle changes can often prevent progression to full diabetes.
