Introduction<\/b><\/h2>\n

It may surprise you to know how much diabetes affects every organ in your body. These lead to the signs and symptoms that guide the diagnosis of diabetes. In this article, we dive deep into each organ system and determine how high blood sugar can disrupt their normal functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How does diabetes affect different functions in the body?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

1. Immunity\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Uncontrolled sugar levels weaken your immune system and increase your risk of developing infections that are difficult to treat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies show<\/span><\/a> that diabetes causes the walls of the blood vessels to thicken by depositing cholesterol plaques. <\/span>As the blood vessels narrow and harden, blood flow slows down and leads to decreased nutrients to various body parts, which delays wound healing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

High blood sugar levels also slow down the production of defense cells like neutrophils in the bone marrow and impair the cell’s ability to fight against infections.<\/p>\n
