Eye Problems
Eye problems can result from uncontrolled blood sugar because of the changes in sugar levels affecting the lens in your eye. Some eye complications that may arise from uncontrolled diabetes are as follows.
Blurred vision: Your vision may vary depending on your sugar levels.
Early cataract: Your lens may get cloudy and inflamed due to high sugar levels in the fluid surrounding it.
Glaucoma: Your optic nerve may get damaged due to increased pressure in your eye.
Diabetic retinopathy: The blockage, leakage, or damage to blood vessels in the retina could lead to loss of vision, if unchecked.
Skin Problems
Skin problems can actually sometimes be a warning sign of diabetes. You are more prone to bacterial and fungal infections when you have diabetes. Some common skin problems caused due to diabetes are as follows.
Bacterial infections like boils, styes (infected glands on your eyelid), folliculitis (infection in your hair follicles), nail infections, and carbuncles (deep infections in your skin as well as the tissue beneath it)
Fungal infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm, itchy vaginal infections, and jock itch
Itchiness of the legs due to poor circulation
