LENGKONG, AYOBANDUNG.COM – Diabetes Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as diabetes, is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar.
The hormone insulin moves sugar from the blood to the cells for storage or use for energy. With diabetes, the body does not make enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces.
Quoted from Suara.com, one of the most common people is diabetes type 2. This is when the body becomes resistant to insulin, and sugar builds up in your blood.
Common symptoms diabetes include:
- increased hunger
- increased thirst
- increased urination
- Blurred vision
- fatigue
- slow healing wounds
It can also lead to repeated infections. This is because high glucose levels make it harder for the body to heal.
But the above symptoms often do not appear in the early stages. However, there are other things to watch out for.
Another potential sign of high blood sugar, is a staphylococcal bacterial infection. This can lead to a stye — a tender red bump on the edge of the eyelid, explains Johns Hopkins Medicine.
People who suffer diabetes – whether known or not – are at increased risk of developing a stye.
Those symptoms may include:
- Swelling, redness, pain, or tenderness in the eyelids
- Feel like there’s something in your eyes
- Disturbed by bright light
- Tears and crusting.
To treat a pimple at home, you can place a warm, wet cloth on the affected eyelid for up to 10 minutes; This should be done three to five times a day.
It’s also important not to squeeze the nodule, touch the eye area with unwashed fingers, or wear make-up.
