Another warning sign is numbness or loss of sensitivity, known as diabetic neuropathy. Without pain as a warning sign, small injuries can go unnoticed. Even a small cut can become a serious wound because the healing process slows down.
Swelling and redness in the feet are also common indicators. If accompanied by heat, they often indicate inflammation or infection. Because diabetes weakens the immune system, infections are harder to fight and more dangerous.
If you notice these symptoms, see a doctor right away. A simple blood test can confirm whether diabetes is the cause. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent serious complications.
