what are the symptoms of a diabetic belly

A 'diabetic belly' often refers to abdominal weight gain or fat accumulation, which can be associated with insulin resistance or poorly managed diabetes. Common symptoms include:

• Increased abdominal fat: A noticeable increase in belly fat, even if the rest of the body remains relatively lean.
• Bloating: Persistent bloating or discomfort in the abdominal area.
• High blood sugar levels: Frequent spikes in blood glucose, which can contribute to fat storage in the abdomen.
• Insulin resistance: Difficulty managing blood sugar levels, leading to weight gain around the midsection.

If you experience these symptoms, consult a healthcare provider to evaluate your diabetes management plan and discuss lifestyle changes or treatments.
