5) Feminine Health Issues
High levels of glucose in the blood and urine provide fertile soil for the growth of pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and yeast. As they multiply more quickly, most female diabetic patients are at a higher risk of catching body conditions such as bacterial infections, vaginal thrush and yeast infections. Lack of awareness and poor management of the raised blood glucose levels make managing these conditions challenging and they go on repeating themselves.
Besides feminine health issues, men also experience frequent infections due to high glucose levels in the blood such as infections of foot, skin, blood vessels, and nerves. However, these infections are not an early sign of diabetes and they usually develop in those with advanced diabetes.
