Watan-A dermatologist warned that a hidden mark on the skin of the hands and feet may indicate that you are suffering from type 2 diabetes, and that swollen or bulging areas could be cause for concern.
Type 2 diabetes is considered the most common, where the body does not produce enough insulin.
People can live with this condition for “years without realizing it,” because “early symptoms tend to be general, or there are no symptoms at all.”
However, according to a dermatologist, there is a subtle sign that may appear on your skin that could indicate you have high blood sugar levels, and therefore may be diabetic.
A hidden mark on the skin may indicate that you are suffering from diabetes
Dr. Jeremy Brauer, a resident dermatologic surgeon in New York, told HuffPost, “The texture of a person’s skin is a pivotal sign of good or bad skin health.”
And there’s one sign that people often notice on their hands and feet that could be a clear indication of a larger problem related to their blood sugar levels.
Swollen or swollen skin may be a sign of diabetes, health experts note that this condition is called digital sclerosis and is caused by high blood pressure.
Experts also said, “This condition usually appears on the fingers, hands, and feet. It is also common for these areas to experience decreased pain and sensation.”
At the same time, one symptom of type 2 diabetes may be mistaken for a sexually transmitted disease.
One of the strangest symptoms that people may face is “genital itching.” Which can affect both men and women when it comes to diabetes.
If you are sexually active, you may think that this itching is due to a sexually transmitted disease. But if tests are conducted and ruled out, it may be a sign that you have diabetes.
Genital itching can be a sign of diabetes due to high glucose levels in the blood of those with this condition.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:
- Feeling thirsty all the time
- Feeling extreme fatigue
- Weight loss
- Delayed wound or sore healing
- Blurry vision
If you have any symptoms of type 2 diabetes, or if you are concerned that you are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, you should see a general practitioner.
The earlier diabetes is diagnosed and treatment begins, the better. Early treatment reduces the risk of facing other health problems.
