dry.In fact, this condition can be an initial symptom
diabetes
which is often ignored.
Internal specialist doctor at Eka Hospital Permata Hijau, Pandu Tridana Sakti, explained that itching on the folds of the body accompanied by red spots should be watched out, especially if you have excess weight (
Overweight
).
“If there is itching, lesions in the folds of the body, red spots, you should check blood sugar, especially if
Overweight
.Often diabetes has occurred three to five years before these symptoms emerged, “Pandu said in a media meeting held by Eka Hospital in Jakarta, Thursday (8/14).
Besides itching, there are some typical signs of diabetes to watch out for.These symptoms, said Pandu, ranging from frequent urination, easily thirsty, often hungry, to weight loss for no apparent reason even though you eat a lot.
“This weight loss occurs because the body cannot utilize sugar as a source of energy. As a result, the body breaks down fat and muscles to get energy, so that weight is reduced,” he said.
If it has been complicated, the symptoms of diabetes can also extend to blurred vision, wounds that are difficult to heal, tingling, or numbness due to nerve damage.
When to be vigilant?
According to Pandu, you should start checking blood sugar regularly since having a body mass index (BMI/BMI) above 23 or classified as
Overweight
.Simple examinations such as fasting blood sugar checks can help early detection of blood sugar increases.
