New symptoms of diabetes discovered.

New research by scientists at the University of Exeter (UK) examined data from 370,000 participants from the UK Biobank.

The study found that people at high risk of hyperglycemia are also more likely to develop the following four problems:

Researchers have just discovered a new symptom of diabetes.

Shoulder stiffness (the connective tissue in the shoulder joint thickens, leading to stiffness and discomfort).

Carpal tunnel syndrome (a nerve getting trapped in the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, and a pins-and-needles sensation).

Dupuytren's contracture (abnormal thickening and tightening of the tissue in the palm, causing the fingers to curl inward).

Trigger finger (a condition similar to Dupuytren's contracture but usually only affects one finger), according to Express.

Research shows that over time, high blood sugar levels increase the concentration of a substance called AGEs. This substance forms when proteins, fats, and DNA mix with sugar in the blood. The accumulation of AGEs—in the hands of people with Dupuytren's contracture and in the shoulders of people with stiff shoulders—may cause damage and thickening of tendons, joints, and tissues.

Shoulder stiffness can also be a symptom of diabetes.

The lead researcher, Dr. Harry Green from the University of Exeter School of Medicine, said: "This study demonstrates that high blood sugar levels over a long period of time cause conditions in the upper extremities. It can now be identified as a complication of diabetes."

Additionally, there are two lesser-known symptoms of diabetes: slow-healing wounds and fruity-smelling breath.

The symptoms of diabetes are commonly known as:

Urinating more often than usual.

I always feel thirsty.

I feel very tired.

Unintentional weight loss.

Itching around the genital area or frequent episodes of oral thrush.

Blurred vision .

If you experience any symptoms, you should talk to your doctor, according to Express .
