Doctors: Swelling of certain parts of the body and fatigue can signal the development of diabetes

Swelling of some parts of the body can warn about the presence of diabetes and its complications. It is dangerous to ignore such manifestations.

Diabetes occurs when the blood sugar level is not regulated by the hormone insulin. This is most often caused by a high level of internal visceral fat, which can only be removed through regular exercise.

When cells become insulin resistant, body tissues stop receiving energy from sugar. The excess of the latter moves through the bloodstream, provoking internal damage. Glucose can be found in fruits, vegetables, dairy products and grains. A lot of added sugar is also in fast food.

Doctors have listed and often ignored symptoms of diabetes. A person has urgent urges to urinate, especially at night, and he also constantly feels thirsty. Fatigue seems more pronounced than usual, sudden weight loss begins, itching in the genital area or thrush are possible. Cuts and wounds in patients with diabetes take longer to heal, appetite increases, and sometimes blurred vision occurs.

If the blood sugar content is not controlled, there is a risk of even more harm to the body, for example, provoking kidney disease. A visible sign of diabetes is swelling of body parts, especially ankles, feet and hands. A simple blood test prescribed by a doctor will allow you to assess the level of sugar in the body. Timely referral to a specialist increases the chances of a positive result.
