Swelling around the eyes
Many people think that puffy eyelids and eye bags are a normal part of aging. However, puffiness around the eyes may be related to chronic inflammation and insulin resistance in the body. Insulin can cause fluid retention, especially around the eyes. Severe diabetics often have dark circles around the eyes.
Oily scalp
Thyroid is closely related to insulin resistance. Insulin will increase male hormones in the blood, which can easily lead to oily scalp. If there is a thyroid problem due to diabetes, the eyebrows will also be sparse, especially the outer position of the eyebrows.
Face full of acne
Hormonal imbalances in the body can easily cause acne, including abnormal insulin secretion that causes acne all over the face. If you are past puberty or middle-aged or older and often have an oily, acne-prone face, you should see a doctor for medical advice to check if you are at risk of diabetes.
Spots on the face
Many people think that facial spots can be caused by sun damage, age spots, or that the cause of facial spots can be high blood sugar. Because the body has been in a state of high sugar levels for a long time, the skin is prone to glycation.
Dry lips
Polyuria, a symptom of diabetes, can dehydrate the body, causing dry lips. In addition, after high blood sugar levels, it will absorb water from the tissues around the blood vessels.
