3. Neuropathy
This is one of the most common complications of diabetes – it’s estimated that around 70% of diabetics will eventually experience some symptoms of neuropathy (nerve damage), whether it’s some tingling in the extremities or organ malfunction. Diabetic neuropathy can either be autonomic (damage to the nerves that control organs like the stomach, bladder or brain) or peripheral (pain, burning, or numbness that often begins in the toes). As with other diabetes symptoms, taking control of your blood sugar is the single best way to avoid nerve damage; once you develop neuropathy, you may need to consult with a neurologist to treat the symptoms.
There are unusual diabetes symptoms that may arise that people may not recognize. Read on to learn about 12 unusual diabetes symptoms.
