The palms of your hands can be used to determine dangerous blood sugar levels, Daily Express reported with reference to the UK experts.

Diabetic patients usually develop stiff arm syndrome or diabetic chiroarthropania, when joints become unmoved. According to experts, with this disease, first a feeling of stiffness occurs in the little finger, then it can spread to the thumb. The skin becomes thickened or waxy to the touch.

The doctors noted that you should bring your palms together and check for this syndrome. It is present if the fingers do not touch. In this case, you should contact a doctor.
