9Slow-healing Wounds
Type 2 diabetes renders all injuries serious. You cannot underrate how serious a small cut or insect bite can be when you have diabetes because what seems to look like a small and not-so-serious wound can become a deep sore that will take a very long period to heal. Diabetes damages the small vessels that supply blood to the skin. So, with your nerves damaged and poor circulation of blood, the skin is weakened, and the needed blood for skin repair is unable to reach areas of the body with wounds. Therefore, it is very much vital for you to keep your glucose levels under control. [9]
