Type 2 diabetes may not manifest itself for years, but its destructive effect will increase. Small vessels are especially affected.
A sign in the navel may be a warning that blood sugar levels are out of control, according to a study published in Express.
There are several symptoms associated with early stages of diabetes, but complications are inevitable will occur if you do not take into account high glucose levels and do nothing about it.
Signs of chronic high blood sugar usually appear in the hands, feet and eyes as a result of diabetic neuropathy – nerve damage. There is another sign – fungal infections.
Candida is a yeast that usually grows in moist, closed areas of the body. These infections can occur in the umbilical region and are characterized by a clear or colored discharge.
Other signs of a fungal infection in the umbilical region:
- scaly skin,
- strong odour,
- itching and redness.
Such infections are more common in people with high blood glucose levels.
- According to a study published in the Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, there appears to be a link between high blood sugar and Candida yeast infections. People with diabetes often have higher than normal blood sugar levels, and the yeast feeds on that sugar. In this case, the yeast can more easily spread throughout the body and on the skin, the study says.
