From minor cuts to severe infections, even small issues can turn into major complications.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and reduce blood circulation, making it harder for wounds to heal.

This makes healing slower and increases the risk of infections.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, nerve damage\u2014also known as diabetic neuropathy\u2014can cause a loss of sensation.
