There are signs that our body presents and which is normally not given importance. These are signals that are often underestimated, considered transitory, but which instead hide a much more serious situation. So be careful if you have any of these symptoms, as you may have a serious health problem.
Underestimated Symptoms of Diabetes
Diabetes is caused by a high blood sugar level. This disease usually manifests itself with well-known symptoms: the need to drink a lot, unexplained weight loss, the desire to go to urinate often.
But there are some manifestations of it that we don’t normally link to it. Small annoyances, passing things that we do not suspect in the least could be the alarm bells of something much more serious. Here they are described below.
Itchy skin and dandruff
The high blood glucose level makes the skin drier. As a result it becomes much more sensitive and often itchy. This manifests itself in the hands, arms, legs and feet, in short, in the limbs, which are the most sensitive peripheral areas.
If you feel this itching, constantly and moreover not attributable to other diseases such as seasonal allergy, then it would be better to talk to the doctor.
Dandruff is another factor to keep in mind. In fact, the circulating blood loaded with glucose alarms the body which tries to get rid of it through the urine. A constant action of the organism in this sense has the consequence of causing a certain dehydration, which leads to dryness of the skin, even in the area of the scalp. This is how dandruff is born which could be another warning sign of diabetes.
Snoring and hearing difficulties
Be careful if you have any of these symptoms as you may have a serious health problem. During sleep, many people snore and more. In fact, it is easy for those who snore to take long breaths, known as sleep apnea. These breaks disrupt the supply of oxygen to the blood, thus disrupting the metabolism’s work on sugars. Shortness of breath during sleep would thus cause a certain accumulation of sugar in the blood.
A decrease in hearing capacity can also be due to diabetes, as evidenced certain studies. This always depends on the high level of sugar in the blood which causes micro-injuries to the auditory system, attacking its nerve and blood vessels. The consequence of this is a certain difficulty in understanding what is being said, or the need to listen to radio or television at higher volumes than before.
If these alarm signals sent by our body are detected, then it would be better to seek medical advice.
