Causes of Diabetes-Related Skin Problems

Long-term type 2 diabetes with hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) tends to reduce blood flow to the skin. It can also cause damage to blood vessels and nerves. Decreased blood circulation can lead to changes in the skin’s collagen. This changes the skin’s texture, appearance, and ability to heal.

Damage to the skin cells can even interfere with your ability to sweat. It can also increase your sensitivity to temperature and pressure. Some glucose-lowering medications may also increase the risk of developing diabetes-related skin problems.

Interesting. I have found an increased sensitivity to cold since I was diagnosed.

I personally did not get a good result until after I controlled what I was eating

I became eat with my mind not with my mouth
This is written by water from gold

No man fills a container worse than his stomach. A few morsels that keep his back upright are sufficient for him. If he has to, then he should keep one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for his breathing."
