Frequent infections

Getting more infections recently?

Another sign of diabetes is infections. If you start to get them more frequently, that could be a cause for concern. Infections such as yeast infections, urinary tract infections and skin infections are some of the more common symptoms. This is also related to poor healing, as the immune system is being suppressed. Presence of glucose in the tissues also helps speed along the growth of bacteria. This can be indicator of poor blood sugar control, which leads to diabetes.
