Question

what is the sideffects of being a diabetes?

Answer 1

Without maintaining good control of your blood sugars, you can suffer from kidney disease, blindness caused by diabetic retinopathy, ulcers or possible amputation as a result from neuropathy to name a few.

Answer 2

Hi! Most of the symptoms has been already mentioned. Along with sugar erge there is food erge too. An appetite which can never be satisfied. One main side effect that can lie dorment until verty late are the illnesses related to eye. Sadly, my mother is a diabetic but at 53 Mamma is still going strong because Mamma used to go for long walks as exercises. While Mamma have had Heart illnesses and leg pains which were treated well from time to time we came to know only accidentaly on a routiune check-up of the eye that it has effected the eye as well. Mamma had to take laser treatements for that. Luckily its under control. A positive and care free attitude and a very happy family environment is what works for Mamma more than the medicines!

Well, diabetes has been considered to be a disease of inconvenience, yet it certainly can be a life threatening issue.

Since the diabetic cannot properly produce or utilize insulin, hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia are two of the most obvious problems. In other words, to much blood sugar or too little. Too much can lead to a coma. Too little blood sugar will not supply your brain with what it needs to function. Both can lead to death.

In the long run, diabetics who have been diagnosed for years face challenges in all the body systems. One thing I see a lot is amputations of the lower limbs. Circulation to the legs gets imparied with diabetes and causes all sorts of problems that might led to limb removal.

Other problems could be blindness, infections, kidney failure to name a few.

Answer 4

Well. sooner or later, your whole body feels the sideeffects, because diabetes keeps your organs working so hard that they start to fail sooner than in a healthy person. I don't remember the names of the organs but the first ones that are involved are those that produces insuline.

Answer 5

Diabetes can have many varied complications. The excess glucose in your blood is, in effect, "sticky". This glucose can attach to cholesterol in your blood stream and increase the incidence of the deposits of cholesterol in blood vessels, leading to hypertension, atherosclerosis, increased likelihood of strokes and heart disease. Also, this causes vascular damage in the retina, kidneys, and the extremities. The damage of fine capillaries in the extremities causes nerve damage (leading to diabetics being unaware of foot sores or as the are called ulcerations) due to the lack of oxygen. Lack of oxygen in these tissues, especially with cuts or ulcers, can lead to particularly bad infections that the body has a hard time fighting off.

Unfortunately, many diabetics do not take the disease seriously enough, and can hurt themselves very badly through neglect. Simply understanding the disease and the potential complications hopefully will motivate people to take care of themselves. While this is a big committment (you should check your feet daily for sores, monitor your blood glucose as your doctor recommends, and modify your diet and exercise accordingly) I hope everyone sees this as preferrable to heart attacks, blindness, and kidney failure. If you don't do it for yourself, do it for a loved one.
