7. Slow healing sores

Diabetes can be detected by slow healing of cuts and sores. The body’s ability to heal can be affected by high blood sugar levels. Additionally, infection can also take advantage of excess sugar and make healing even more difficult.

Keep an eye out for anys cuts or sores that are not healing well. Seek medical attention immediately if this occurs. Diabetes management can improve healing and prevent infections. By working with your healthcare provider on a customized treatment plan, you can manage your blood glucose levels and reduce your risk of complications such as slow-healing injuries.

8. Unexpected weight loss

It may sound like a miracle, but if you lose weight without even trying it could be a sign that you have diabetes. Unintentional weight gain can occur when your body cannot get energy from food and must burn fat instead. It may seem appealing, but this is not sustainable over the long-term.

It’s important that you speak to your doctor if you experience unexplained loss of weight. This will help determine the cause. Diabetes can be managed properly and early diagnosis is key to preventing complications. It also improves your health and overall well-being. It may be necessary to make lifestyle changes, such as diet and physical activity, or use insulin therapy.
