Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes: Signs of BG include

Type 2 diabetes is a common disease that affects nearly four million people in the UK, and 90% of cases are caused by type 2 diabetes. The disease, which causes high blood sugar, is caused by the pancreas that does not produce enough insulin, a hormone, or by the body, that does not react to insulin. Without enough hormones, the body has trouble converting sugar in the blood into usable energy. You may be at risk of developing diabetes symptoms if you wear multiple skin tags, experts warned.

According to the NHS, skin tags are small flesh-colored outgrowths that hang from the skin and look a little like warts.

They are very common and are usually found on the neck, armpits, groin or under the breasts.

Although they are generally not a concern and are very harmless, having many skin tags could indicate high blood sugar levels, warned the American Academy of Dermatology.

"Diabetes can affect many parts of your body, including your skin," he said. "When diabetes affects the skin, it often indicates that your blood sugar is [glucose] the levels are too high.

"It could mean that you have undiagnosed diabetes, or prediabetes, or that your treatment for diabetes needs to be adjusted.

"Many people wear skin tags – skin growths hanging from a stalk. Although harmless, having many skin tags may indicate that you have too much insulin in your blood or type 2 diabetes.

"Most skin problems are harmless, but even a minor problem can become serious in people with diabetes.

"A dermatologist can recognize skin problems due to diabetes and help you manage them."

If you have multiple skin tags, it's best to ask your doctor if you need to be tested for diabetes, he added.

The skin tags consist of collagen fibers and loose blood vessels and are surrounded by skin. Their color and shape may vary, but their width can reach 5 cm.

If you want to get rid of your skin tags, you can remove them in the same way as the warts by burning them or freezing them.

But, on occasion, your doctor may recommend that you surgically remove your skin label because there is a minor risk of bleeding.

The American Academy of Dermatology adds that you may also be at risk for diabetes if you develop an epidemic of small yellow-reddish bumps on your skin.

The bumps, which look a bit like pimples, are usually on the thighs, elbows, or backs of the knees.

Some of the most common diabetes symptoms include passing more urine than usual, feeling very tired and having blurred vision.

If you are worried about the symptoms of diabetes, you should talk to a doctor.

Managing your blood glucose is crucial, as diabetic patients are more prone to certain life-threatening complications, such as heart disease and stroke.
