8. Slow-Healing Wounds

Source: https://res.cloudinary.com/

When someone has diabetes that has been left untreated, their levels of glucose are so high that it affects the blood. Not only is there a thickening of the blood and inflammation of the vessels, but a much lower blood flow throughout the body, which then ‘impairs your body’s natural healing process.’ If you happen to have a wound on your body that is incredibly slow-healing, especially one that sits below the waist where circulation can be at its weakest, be sure to discuss this with your doctor. It could be a monumental sign that it’s due to undiagnosed diabetes, and if left untreated, eventually gangrene can set in.
