In life, if diabetes is not well controlled, complications can be quietly traced. Many diabetics do not know that symptoms on their shoulders that appear to be invisible may be important signals of diabetes complications.
Today, let us come together to see what four symptoms are on our shoulders, and we must not lose sight of them.
Symptom 1: Shoulder pain. When the shoulder suddenly begins to suffer for no reason, this may be a sign of a diabetic neurosis. Diabetes affects the nervous state of the body, causing pain, numbness or sting. If this pain continues, it’s no big deal.
Symptom 2: Shoulders are weak. Diabetes may affect muscles if it is discovered that the shoulders suddenly become weak and difficult to lift a glass of water. Diabetes causes muscle atrophy, making the shoulder “incompetent”. This is a time not only for rest, but also for professional advice from doctors.
Symptom three: swollen shoulders. The shoulder swollen for no reason, which may be an inflammatory response to diabetes. Diabetes can increase the body’s inflammation response, making the shoulder look like “inflated”. Don’t underestimate this swelling. It could be a body calling for help.
Symptom 4: Shoulder skin changes. If the shoulder skin starts to get dry, itchy and even colored, this may be the effect of diabetes on the skin. Diabetes affects blood circulation and causes skin problems.
So how do we prevent these symptoms?
First, to maintain healthy eating habits, more vegetables and fruits and less sugary and fat food.
Secondly, regular physical exercise, such as walking, swimming or yoga, helps to control blood sugar and to alleviate shoulder disorders.
Finally, regular screening of blood sugar and timely detection and control of diabetes are key to preventing complications.
Diabetes is not terrible; it is terrible that we ignore it. In the event of the above-mentioned symptoms on the shoulder, do not hesitate to go to the hospital and have a professional doctor help. Our “sweet” lives can be guarded if we take active action and focus on the health of our shoulders.
