Diabetes symptoms are often subtle at first, but persistently high blood sugar levels can lead to more noticeable changes. If you suspect whether you have this condition or not, there may be two signs on your face that are an indication of that condition. Express website mentioned.
Firstly, it could be any significant facial weight loss that cannot be attributed to a change in diet or lifestyle. It is a sign of many serious diseases.
And the NHS indicated that persistent and unintentional weight loss of more than five percent of your weight over a period of six to 12 months is usually a cause for concern.
Causes of unintentional weight loss may include:
After a stressful event such as a bereavement
– Cancer
– Hyperthyroidism
Diseases of the heart, kidneys, lungs and liver
Undiagnosed diabetes
lupus
Medication side effects
-Take drugs
Addison’s disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Mouth ulcers
Dysphagia (swallowing problems)
-Ulcers
Ulcerative colitis
Celiac disease
Gaseous enteritis
HIV and AIDS
-mental illness.
Another possible sign of high blood sugar, which WebMD points out, is a staph bacterial infection. This can lead to a stye (a thin red bump on the edge of the eyelid).
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, in the United States of America, people with diabetes – whether known to them or not – are at increased risk of developing a stye. Symptoms of a stye may include:
Eyelid swelling, redness, pain, or tenderness
The feeling that there is something in your eyes
Discomfort from bright light
– Tearing and peeling of the eye.
To treat the wound at home, you can apply a warm, damp cloth to the affected eyelid for up to 10 minutes; This should be done three to five times daily, and it is also important not to squeeze the boil, touch the eye area with unwashed fingers, or apply makeup.
Medical treatment may include an antibiotic cream or ointment, or you may be referred to an ophthalmologist (an eye specialist) if the stye does not go away.
Other signs of high blood sugar, as noted by Diabetes UK, include:
Passing more urine than usual, especially at night
– Feeling very thirsty
Fatigue and lethargy
Thrush or other frequent bladder and skin infections
– Headache
blurred vision
-Weight loss
– Feeling sick.
What can lead to high blood sugar?
Diabetes UK states that “eating too much and not moving enough” can lead to high blood sugar.
Other causes may include feeling stressed, feeling unwell from an infection, missing a dose of medication, or eating more carbohydrates than your body can handle.
How can you lower blood sugar levels?
Diabetes UK advises that you should be “aware of your carbohydrate portions and how they may affect your blood sugar levels after eating”.
Carb counting is one way to control your carbohydrate intake, with an emphasis on foods with a low GI, and it’s also helpful to try to “maintain a healthy weight” by being active as much as possible.
