Healthline reports that unusually high blood sugar can manifest itself in a variety of skin symptoms.....CONTINUE READING THE FULL STORY HERE
Diabetes is the most common cause of dangerously high blood sugar levels, which develop when either the pancreas’ insulin production is hampered or the body fails to detect the insulin released by the pancreas.
In this post, we’ll look at some of the skin symptoms that may indicate a high blood sugar level, as reported by the MayoClinic.
1.One skin issue brought on by diabetes is the appearance of dark patches. This is a significant matter that must not be ignored. Check your blood sugar if you’ve been noticing black spots on your lower thighs, armpits, or anywhere else you could be particularly vulnerable.
2.A localized thickening and hardening of the skin. You can develop waxy skin on the palms of your hands and notice a thickening of the skin on your fingers and toes. It’s also possible that your fingers will harden to the point that you have trouble flexing them.
One of the skin conditions brought on by uncontrolled diabetes or high blood sugar is digital sclerosis. This skin thickening can affect the upper back, shoulders, and sometimes the neck.
3.Blisters on the skin may indicate elevated blood sugar levels from diabetes. Diabetic testing is warranted if you develop blisters, especially in clusters, on any part of your body, including your hands, feet, and arms. Although they look similar to burn blisters, diabetes blisters are actually painless.
