Persistent pain in certain body parts may indicate high blood sugar levels, especially if the pain persists despite medication. Here are two common areas where such pain may occur:
- Legs or Feet: High blood sugar can cause nerve damage, leading to pain in the legs or feet. This often occurs after prolonged periods of unrecognized high blood sugar levels. If you experience persistent pain in these areas, consult a doctor immediately.
- Hands: Elevated blood sugar can damage nerves in the hands, causing painful sensations. If untreated, this can worsen over time, leading to more severe diabetes-related complications.
If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, seek medical attention promptly to assess and manage the condition effectively.
