Diabetes is same for everyone but there are certain unique signs of the disease in women and as such, we are going to have a look at some of the early signs of diabetes in women that should not be ignored. Just sit tight and enjoy this article while learning something new.
What Are The Signs Of Diabetes In Women?
1. Recurrence of Vaginal Yeast Infection; this is a health condition that arises when the candida fungus grows uncontrollably in the vagina. Research has shown that higher blood sugar level is the cause of recurring yeast infection because the fungus thrives most when there is sugar. So if your blood sugar level is high, one way of knowing is if you always suffer from yeast infections.
2. Urinary tract Infections; women who are suffering from diabetes and perhaps don’t know about it, often deal with urinary tract infections more often than others. So if you start dealing with urinary tract infections more often than before or than normal, then the best thing you should do is check your blood sugar level to know if it’s due to higher than normal blood sugar level.
3. Tingling Hands and Feet; this is another sign of diabetes that should not be taken for granted. Reason being that when a person’s blood sugar is high, it can cause diabetic neuropathy i.e. nerve damage which can cause loss of feeling in the feet and even sometimes in the hand. So don’t take it for granted, unusual tingling and numbness of the hands and feet should be looked into for the sake of your health.
4. Darker areas in certain parts of the skin. This is referred to acanthosis and it is one of the early signs of diabetes especially when it gets out of hand. So make sure you go for checkup once parts of your skin starts getting darker than normal.
