Daily Skin care for Diabetics.
You might be wondering how high blood sugar levels can affect your skin. Here’s how. Diabetes can affect your skin in two ways1. Body always excretes too much glucose present in the blood through urine. To make urine, water is needed, which in turn leads loss of moisture in the body. Less moisture leads to dry and cracked skin which is easily prone to infections. Along with water loss, diabetes leads to reduced blood supply to skin which results in other disorders. 2. High glucose levels in the body provide an environment for bacteria when there is a cut. Bacteria can thus easily multiply and cause infections. Most of the infections are treatable if diagnosed early and also can be prevented. A good skin care routine will help you to ward off most of the likely infections.
