Signs And Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus

Slow Healing Sores And Infections

Slow healing sores and infections tend to be more common in individuals with diabetes mellitus. Cells that do not receive the energy they need to heal tend to take longer to fight off infections, which can also be more common in individuals with diabetes mellitus if they are not properly managing their condition. High levels of blood sugar may impair the body’s ability to naturally heal itself, which is an important part of the immune system’s function to restore and repair. Bladder and vaginal infections are especially common in women who have diabetes. Patients with diabetes may also take longer to recover from the common cold.
