According to the “express” site, we review the first symptoms that indicate a high blood sugar level.
Breath odor
In the absence of insulin, the body begins to break down fat cells for energy, but this process produces an acid (known as ketones) as a byproduct.
Itching
Constant itching is a lesser known symptom of diabetes and is caused by nerve damage.
The high blood sugar content has a direct effect on the body’s nerve fibers, and not in a good way.
Nerve damage usually affects the hands and feet, but can actually develop in any part of the body.
As a result, the body’s natural reaction is to start itching in areas affected by nerve damage.
Dry mouth
The medical site warned that a high blood sugar level could reduce the flow of saliva into the mouth.
While it is normal to experience a dry mouth occasionally, you should talk to a doctor if it continues to occur, for no apparent reason.
Erectile dysfunction
Type 2 diabetics can develop some type of sexual dysfunction, including impotence.
This is due to a high level of sugar in the blood, which damages the blood vessels that carry blood to the penis.
