Can diabetes make you feel cold?
I've been feeling unusually cold lately, even when it's not that chilly outside. I have diabetes, and I'm wondering if feeling cold can be a symptom or side effect of the condition.

It usually happens due to poor blood circulation when sugar levels are high. Regular cardio and strength training really help improve your blood flow and keep you warm. Just try to get moving a bit every day.
In my many years of managing diabetes, I have felt my hands and feet get cold quite often. It is very common when your circulation slows down. Keep your feet covered in socks and make sure your sugar stays in control.
Yes, feeling cold in your hands and feet is totally normal with diabetes! Wearing warm socks and keeping your sugar levels stable will help you feel much better. Stay warm and positive! 😊
My doctor at Aster Medcity explained that nerve damage or poor blood flow from high sugar can cause cold sensations. You should definitely ask your doctor clearly to see if you need any specific tests for neuropathy.
My feet get super cold even in the summer and my doctor told me it's because of my high sugar levels affecting circulation. I started keeping them warm with fuzzy socks and walking thoda daily, which really helped me.
I thought I was just getting old and sensitive to the AC, but my doc told me it's just my high sugar acting up again! Keep your sugar in control unless you want to wear woolen sweaters in July like me.

Yes, but make sure it isn't a sign of thyroid or anemia which can also cause this. I manage my diabetes with a strict low-carb diet to keep my circulation healthy. Do check your blood sugar levels regularly.
