Dark circles under the eyes! Really?

[Sibyl]

An article in the Telegraph today about the diplomatic Mr Junker’s comments about Mrs May referred to dark circles under the eyes as a classic T1 symptom! Is this something else to look forward to? T1 really is the gift that keeps on giving! Lol! Thoughts?

I have dark circles, but never heard it being related to diabetes before!

I'd imagine the stressors encountered when running a country are more to blame than T1D... My eyes are fine

So far touch wood mine are ok too - any other hidden surprises we can look forward to ?!

Yes! Dark shadows around the eyes. It was very noticeable in my relative before diagnosis of T1. I have dark shadows around my eyes too.

That just says uncontrolled diabetes are one of the many things which could lead to dark circles under the eyes.
I suspect Mrs May is more likely to be suffering from sleepless nights. Especially as she has only had diabetes for 5 years.

I'm more surprised that there is actually a link in between poorly controlled diabetes and eye shadows. I've been trying to get rid of mine for years and never thought that it could be diabetes related.

I had dark circles before I got my T2 under control - I always put it down to tiredness due to the constant waking up in the night for a pee.

 

[novorapidboi26]

That link didn't actually explain how or why and its just their own opinion, no explanations....

My diabetes is currently under relatively decent control but I still have dark circles! Was even looking at a better covering makeup recently to try and make it not noticeable

 

[lou258]

Would love to blame mine on the t1, but suspect lack of sleep / 2 cheeky monkey children / work stress a more likely culprit!!

 

[Levy]

Well @lou258 we're putting so much time and effort into it, might as well make it take the fall for something!

LOL -- my mother ( 84 years old has dark circles -- and is not diabetic )
my wife often says I look like I have my mothers eyes -- I been Diabetic since 14 years old

can anyone connect the dots to correlate this theory ????????

( beyond me )

 

[Jenniewren1958]

Had dark circles since childhood especially dark when ill

 

[Levy]

Sorry, running? Running a country you say? LOL!!

Maybe it was a typo and meant to say ruining

I think diabetes makes you get grey hairs too.
