Diabetes Mellitus

High blood sugar can develop quietly, which is why many people don't notice symptoms until they start to affect daily life. At OluCare Med, we help patients understand how Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 works and why the body begins to handle insulin differently. Small changes in energy, thirst, or appetite can appear months before a diagnosis. This guide explains the signs that matter and how the condition shows itself.

Blurry Vision Can Show Up as Blood Sugar Fluctuates

Vision can shift when sugar levels move higher than they should. The fluid in the eyes reacts to those changes, and the result can be a soft haze across the field of view or trouble focusing at normal distances. Many people think they need new glasses, but the real issue is with the body’s changing sugar metabolism. The eye is sensitive to swings, and it sends signals when something is off. Some people notice that their sight clears up when their numbers settle, then blurs again when sugar rises. Jumping back and forth can be frustrating, and it can also make day-to-day tasks harder when you have to read or work at a computer. It can show up behind the wheel as well when street signs look less sharp. When this pattern keeps coming back, it’s a cue to check blood sugar levels and talk with a clinician. Our telehealth team can walk you through what your readings mean and how they connect to vision changes.

Slow Healing Cuts May Point Toward Circulation and Sugar Imbalance

Small cuts that drag on for weeks can be a warning that something is going on inside the body. High sugar makes it harder for blood to reach the damaged area with what your body needs to repair itself. A simple scrape on a hand or shin should show progress after a few days. When it lingers, it can be a sign that sugar levels are running higher than normal. Many people notice this first on the lower legs. A cut from yard work or a scrape from bumping into furniture sits there longer than expected. High sugar can slow down the natural rhythm of clotting and new tissue growth. The skin feels dry or tight in the area, and the color around the wound may change. This same pattern can show up with skin infections that take too long to calm down. The body is trying to work through a repair job with limited support. Our telehealth clinicians can review photos, talk through your symptoms, and help you protect the area.

Numbness or Tingling in the Feet Can Suggest Nerve Stress

Nerves in the feet take a hit when sugar stays high for long periods. They sit at the far end of the body’s circulation path and feel the impact of sugar shifts early. A light buzz or pins-and-needles feeling in the toes can show up at night. Some people describe it as a light electric pulse. Others say their feet feel dull, almost like they have lost sensation. This kind of nerve stress can start with a small patch on one toe, but then may spread across the ball of the foot or the heel. It may come and go throughout the day. When nerves lose consistent support, they start to misfire, and that sends mixed signals through the foot and up the leg. This is one of the clearer signs that blood sugar levels need attention. Nerve stress can make walking uncomfortable and make it harder to feel the floor. It can lead to small injuries because the foot doesn't pick up normal pressure or temperature changes. Telehealth makes it easy to check in without traveling. Our clinicians can help you sort out what your symptoms mean and what next steps make sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is telehealth care?

Telehealth care gives you a way to meet with a licensed medical provider through a private video visit instead of going into a clinic. You talk in real time, review your symptoms, and ask questions just as you would during an in-person appointment. Many routine concerns can be handled safely through this format, which makes it practical for busy schedules.
