If minor wounds or skin cuts are taking too long to heal, it might be a sign of undiagnosed diabetes. The body finds it hard to heal because diabetes interferes with the proper function of the immune system.

It is best to immediately check with your doctor when you experience the aforementioned symptoms. One of the benefits of early diagnosis is the ability to keep diabetes under control and avoid its complications which include nerve and kidney damage, hearing and visual impairment, and depression.

In 2016 only, diabetes caused 1.6 million deaths, making it one of the leading causes of death in the same year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The statistics should not scare you if you think of how many other people saved their lives through early diagnosis. Don’t ignore the signs.
