6. Recurrent Infections: High Blood Glucose’s Impact on Immunity
High blood glucose levels can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to recurrent infections. This is particularly concerning for individuals with diabetes, who may experience frequent urinary tract infections, skin infections, or yeast infections.
A weakened immune system can make it challenging for your body to fight off infections effectively, leading to more frequent and potentially severe infections. If you notice that you’re experiencing recurrent infections, it’s essential to consult your healthcare provider.
Your healthcare provider can help you determine the cause of the frequent infections and suggest appropriate lifestyle changes or medical interventions to address the issue. Managing your blood sugar levels effectively can significantly improve your immune system function and reduce your risk of recurrent infections. (6)
