When you have diabetes, either of type 1 or 2, special care must be taken in the diet, physical activity and especially medication, as bad control can cause complications such as amputations, heart attacks and even death.

In addition to these problems, others can be presented that very few know but that we tell you below:

oral problems

Having diabetes, the risk of oral problems, gums and gingival diseases is increased, so the dentist should be visited frequently.

Among the most common problems are the following:

Periodontitis: disease that affects the bone that supports the teeth and that can cause their loss.
Caries: It can also cause sensitivity and bad breath.
Fungal infections: having an excess of sugar, the mouth is more likely to suffer from infections of all kinds.
Disturbances in the palate.

Deafness problems

An association of diabetes and hearing loss has been found in one or both ears, especially if you are over 40 years old.

Some of the symptoms that can be for this are:

Vertigos
Buzzing
Hearing loss (decrease in hearing capacity)
Balance problems

skin infections

The problems are classified into four types:

Injuries
Skin infections
Medication reactions
Diabetic foot
Similarly, dry skin occurs because the body tries to get rid of excess sugar through urine, which represents a large loss of liquids that must be recovered.In severe cases, red lesions can be formed that bite and flash.

Obstructive sleep apnea

It is characterized when there is intermittent and repeated collapse of the airways during sleep and is presented in 2% of women and 4%, the main causes being obesity and diabetes.

Because it is a common respiratory problem, many people overlook it;However, it is necessary to give treatment to combat discomfort.

Sexual dysfunction

People with diabetes, both men and women, usually present problems in their sexual performance.

In men, the risk of erectile dysfunction and women increases up to three times, increases the probability of hyperglycemia, genital area, depression and infections in the genital area.
