Signs And Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus

Tingling And Numbness

Nerve damage is provoked by excess sugar in the bloodstream, which acts as an irritant to reduce proper functioning in the body and its limbs. Patients with diabetes mellitus may experience nerve damage, which often presents itself as tingling or numbness in various parts of the body such as in the hands, feet, arms, and legs. Patients should focus on taking the recommended levels of insulin and following a specially designed diet low in refined sugar, as these practices may help restore some nerve health and reduce feelings of numbness and tingling.

Tender Gums

Diabetes has been linked to an increased risk of infections in the mouth including in and around the gums and bones that hold the teeth in place. Individuals with type one autoimmune diabetes may especially have a hard time recovering from infections as they have an overactive and impaired immune system. Patients may find their teeth may become loose as the gums start to pull away, which creates an increased risk of sores or pockets where germs can enter and form pus. Tender gums are also typically swollen and appear red (inflamed).
