When untreated, Diabetes can lead to neuropathy, blindness, and vessel destruction? Describe how...?

Answer 1

Persons answering should know what correct answers some of this are wrong answers one third of my family has this disease , This condition occurs when the walls of the blood vessels beome weakened swell and burst. This causes blood to leak into the eye. This is a common condition with diabetics, The long you have diabetes the more likely you are to have this condition occur

Signs and symptoms
The classical triad of diabetes symptoms is polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst, and consequent increased fluid intake) and polyphagia (increased appetite). These symptoms may develop quite fast in type 1, particularly in children (weeks or months), but may be subtle or completely absent - as well as developing much more slowly - in type 2. In type 1 there may also be weight loss (despite normal or increased eating), increased appetite, and irreducible fatigue. These symptoms may also manifest in type 2 diabetes in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled.
Thirst develops because of osmotic effects—sufficiently high glucose (above the "renal threshold") in the blood is excreted by the kidneys, but this requires water to carry it and causes increased fluid loss, which must be replaced. The lost blood volume will be replaced from water held inside body cells, causing dehydration. Prolonged high blood glucose causes changes in the shape of the lens in the eye, leading to vision changes. Blurred vision is a common complaint leading to a diagnosis of type 1; it should always be suspected in such cases.
Patients (usually with type 1 diabetes) may also present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), an extreme state of dysregulation characterized by the smell of acetone on the patient's breath, Kussmaul breathing (a rapid, deep breathing), polyuria, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain and any of many altered state of consciousness or arousal (eg, hostility and mania or, equally, confusion and lethargy). In severe DKA, coma (unconsciousness) may follow, progressing to death if untreated. In any form, DKA is a medical emergency and requires expert attention.
A rarer but equally severe presentation is hyperosmolar nonketotic state, which is more common in type 2 diabetes, and is mainly the result of dehydration due to the polyuria. Often, the patient has been drinking extreme amounts of sugar-containing drinks, leading to a vicious circle in regard to water loss.

Answer 4

With the best treatment and control these complications can occur. You left out diabetic nephropathy with renal failure. It is just the nature of the disease on blood vessels and nerves.

Answer 5

If you keep high blood sugars the blood flow slows to the eyes and other things causing these complications. Simply put.

Answer 6

its as simple as saying when your blood sugar is out of control it damages your body. all of your organs and the way u feel etc....
