8) Slow Healing Of Cuts And Wounds
This is one of the most troublesome signs of type 2 diabetes. High levels of glucose in the blood and insulin resistance cause damage to blood vessels and the body’s nerve – that leads to the impaired circulation of the blood. This results in low supply of healing blood cells (white blood cells and platelets) to the skin. Consequently, even small wounds and cuts may take weeks to heal. The risk of bacterial and viral infections also increase with slow wound healing.
