10 Diabetes Symptoms
Symptom #7: Bruises & Cuts That Won’t Heal
The poor flow of blood in the body means that many body tissues and organs are undernourished and weakened. This is the reason why easy bruising occurs. Bruising and any cuts or infections in a diabetic usually take long to heal. Remember that the body depends on the nutrients, including vitamin C, delivered through blood, to carry out tissue repair. And because blood flow is compromised when you have diabetes, the necessary nutrients don’t get to the injury or infection site on time and in adequate amounts to support healing.
In case you notice that you bruise easily or that any cuts or infections take long to heal, you might be having diabetes, hence the need to undergo a test.
