High Blood Sugar Alert: Pain in These Body Parts Could Be a Warning Sign

According to Healthline, your body is designed to convert glucose (sugar) into energy, ensuring you have the necessary energy for your activities while maintaining stable blood sugar levels. However, some individuals have difficulty utilizing glucose properly, leading to abnormally high blood glucose levels, known as diabetes.

While diabetes can be managed or controlled, it is crucial to understand how neglecting your body’s signals can adversely affect your health. Diabetes can cause numerous health problems that should be avoided by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of diabetes are essential to prevent illness.

Healthline reports that diabetes often causes moderate to severe pain in various parts of the body, aiding in the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Therefore, it is important to monitor your health and recognize symptoms to take appropriate action.

  1. Joint Pain Sometimes, joint pain results from strenuous activity. However, if you experience joint pain without any apparent cause, it’s important to pay attention. Diabetic joint pain occurs when high blood sugar damages nerve fibers, leading to discomfort known as diabetic neuropathy.
  2. Muscle Pain (including muscle cramps) Chronic diabetes can weaken muscles, causing pain in the muscles of the legs and hands, as well as muscle cramps.
  3. Leg and Arm Pain Diabetic neuropathy, caused by high glucose levels damaging nerve fibers, typically results in mild pain in the legs and arms that worsens over time.
  4. Shoulder Pain (Frozen Shoulder) Studies indicate that diabetes can lead to frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, where glucose in the collagen fibers around the shoulder causes them to stick together. This condition results in significant pain and inflammation in the shoulder area.
