11. Slow wound healing
High blood sugar causes poor blood flow throughout the body. This means that wounds, cuts, or infections can take a long time to heal. In fact, when circulation slows down, red blood cells move more slowly and cannot deliver the necessary nutrients to wounds. Similarly, high blood sugar levels disrupt white blood cells, making it difficult for the body to fight bacteria. Another possible cause is the significant decrease in the microbial richness in the skin, making it more vulnerable to infections.

The body automatically reserves energy for the vital organs and this is how the patient manifests fatigue.
