Type 2 Diabetes Often Starts Quietly — These Are the First Signs

11) Slow Healing of Wounds

The slow healing of wound is the main symptom of type 2 diabetes. High blood glucose can cause poor circulation making it very hard for the wounds to repair on time. High blood glucose is a cause of narrowing of vessels which leads to insufficient blood flow to the wound. Lack of oxygen and nutrients hinder the repair process.

If you see that your wounds are taking more time to heal than normal, consult your doctor soon so that he can devise a proper plan for your condition after diagnosing the cause.
