The number of diabetic patients over the age of 30 has exceeded 6 million. Diabetes mellitus can negatively affect all organs in the body, from the kidneys to the heart, so early diagnosis is important.
Common symptoms of diabetes, such as thirst, frequent urination, increased appetite, and weight changes, are well known, but some are subtle and easy to lose. A little known symptom of diabetes was introduced by the American scientific webzine “Cytech Daily”.
1. The wound does not heal well
If the wound takes longer than usual to heal, you may have diabetes. Wounds that don’t heal well are a common problem people with diabetes experience and can have many causes, including high blood sugar, nerve damage, and poor circulation. It can also dry out and crack the skin.
2. A yeast infection occurs
A common symptom of diabetes in women is frequent vaginitis. Yeast infections caused by a fungus called Candida albicans that lives in the mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and vagina are more common in people with diabetes who have high blood sugar levels. The fungus lives in a healthy balance with other bacteria and microbes, and infections can occur if the balance is disrupted by changes in immunity or high blood sugar. It can occur anywhere in a warm, humid place, such as in the armpits and within the skin folds. If you have a good immune system, you can usually overcome the infection on your own, but if you have diabetes and your immunity is weakened, you may need the help of an antifungal medication.
3. Blurred vision
Blurred vision can be an early sign of diabetes, even if you don’t have other diabetes symptoms, such as frequent urination or extreme thirst. There is also evidence that visual impairment begins in the prediabetic phase, when blood glucose is not yet in the diagnostic range of diabetes. Diabetes can damage the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the retina and blur vision, which leads to a disease called diabetic retinopathy in which new blood vessels are created that leak into the retina. However, there are various causes of blurred vision, so if you have symptoms, see your doctor.
4. Loss of concentration
Brain fog refers to a state where memory, concentration, attention, etc. they are deteriorated when the person becomes dizzy like a fog. It can be caused by stress, lack of sleep, other health problems, or certain medications, but it can also be a sign of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes can cause brain fog for a variety of reasons. Irregular fluctuations in blood sugar can cause anxiety or cognitive problems. In addition, diabetes damages blood vessels and reduces oxygen and nutrients supplied to the brain. Since there are so many causes, it’s important to see a doctor if you have symptoms.
5. Digestion problems
Diabetes can also cause digestive problems. High blood sugar can lead to a condition called gastroparesis, which slows the movement of digested food in the small intestine. Even after eating a small amount, feeling full, nausea, loss of appetite, and bloating are common symptoms. Diabetes is one of the most common causes of gastritis.
