Slow Healing Cuts and Wounds
When your blood sugar stays high for too long, it can slow your body’s natural healing powers. That’s because it can damage the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients where they’re needed, including to your skin. With poor circulation, cuts, scrapes, and bruises can take much longer to heal.
On top of that, high blood sugar can weaken your immune system, making it tougher to fight off infections. This means even small wounds can become a bigger problem and stick around longer than they should. Source: Brightside
