Diabetes changes how your body repairs itself. Higher blood sugar levels weaken immune function and reduce blood flow to your skin, making even small cuts or wounds take much longer to heal. You might also notice that infections develop more easily in these areas. If you have diabetes and spot slow-healing sores or persistent skin issues, it is worth discussing with us during your visit. We can help you understand what your skin is telling you and guide you toward better care.
