Unexplained Weight Loss: When your body can’t get energy from glucose, it starts to break down muscle and fat for fuel, leading to rapid and unexplained weight loss.
Slow-Healing Wounds: High blood sugar can impair blood circulation and nerve function, making it difficult for your body to heal cuts, bruises, and infections.
Frequent Infections: High blood sugar can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections, especially urinary tract infections (UTIs) and yeast infections.
Tingling or Numbness in Hands or Feet: High blood sugar can damage nerves, a condition known as neuropathy. This can lead to a tingling, prickling, or numb sensation in your hands, feet, and legs.
Dry, Itchy Skin: High blood sugar can lead to poor circulation and damage to blood vessels, which can cause dry and itchy skin.
