Diabetes has indirect symptoms that prevent it from being noticed immediately. Diabetes doesn't hurt, and that's why it's considered one of the most insidious and silent diseases.
However, high blood sugar has its manifestations. If you are more observant, you can find them in time.
How does high blood sugar affect the body?
You urinate often
When blood sugar levels are high, the body secretes large amounts of fluids. This leads to dehydration and constant ravenous thirst.
Continuous Fatigue
Due to the rapid processing of glucose, energy levels in the body drop sharply, which leads to frequent fatigue and exhaustion.
Blood is starting to look like syrup
Unregulated diabetes is characterized by high blood glucose levels. As a result, it thickens and begins to resemble sugar syrup. You cannot imagine how difficult it is for this thick "syrup" to reach the smallest and narrowest blood vessels.
Changes vision
Diabetes seriously damages vision because high blood sugar levels destroy the smallest blood vessels in the eyes. After them, it is the turn of the larger vessels, the destruction of which leads to the loss of limbs.
Pains in limbs
You think you've overexerted yourself with physical activity or heavy lifting, but the pain in your fingers, joints, and limbs may be due to restricted circulation as a result of high blood glucose levels.
Frequent infections
High blood sugar interferes with the immune system's ability to fight infections. Wounds do not heal, infections recur frequently and are difficult to respond to medication.
Intestinal balance is out of whack
Damage to the blood vessels and nerves in the intestines due to high blood sugar levels leads to frequent diarrhea, cramps, pain, bloating, gas.
