8 unusual symptoms of Diabetes to look out for

DNA WEB DESK

Excessive Hunger

As the body tries to signal for additional fuel for cells, people with uncontrolled high blood sugar may experience polyphagia or increased levels of hunger.

Sudden weight loss

Children with type 1 diabetes who have not yet been diagnosed tend to lose weight more suddenly. Type 2 diabetic patients are less likely to experience it. 

Hand and foot tingling

Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by long-term high blood sugar levels that harm the tiny blood vessels in the hands and feet.

Mood swings

High and low blood sugar can cause mood swings or irritability. 

Slow-Healing Injuries

The immune system and circulation can be impacted by high blood sugar, which makes it more challenging for wounds to heal. 

Urinary Tract Infections

In patients with high blood sugar, UTIs are more difficult to treat and may cause more severe consequences.

Yeast Infections

Sugar is necessary for yeast growth, and individuals with high blood sugar typically have higher levels of sugar in their perspiration, saliva, and urine.
