what are the complications of diabetes?

Answer 1

Some possible complications from diabetes include:

Heart Disease and Stroke
People with diabetes have extra reason to be mindful of heart and blood vessel disease. Diabetes carries an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, and complications related to poor circulation.

Kidney Disease
Diabetes can damage the kidneys, which not only can cause them to fail, but can also make them lose their ability to filter out waste products.

Eye Complications
Diabetes can cause eye problems and may lead to blindness. People with diabetes do have a higher risk of blindness than people without diabetes. Early detection and treatment of eye problems can save your sight.


Diabetic Neuropathy and Nerve Damage
One of the most common complications of diabetes is diabetic neuropathy. Neuropathy means damage to the nerves that run throughout the body, connecting the spinal cord to muscles, skin, blood vessels, and other organs.

Foot Complications
People with diabetes can develop many different foot problems. Foot problems most often happen when there is nerve damage in the feet or when blood flow is poor. Learn how to protect your feet by following some basic guidelines.

Skin Complications
As many as one-third of people with diabetes will have a skin disorder caused or affected by diabetes at some time in their lives. In fact, such problems are sometimes the first sign that a person has diabetes. Luckily, most skin conditions can be prevented or easily treated if caught early.

Gastroparesis and Diabetes
Gastroparesis is a disorder that affects people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Depression
Feeling down once in a while is normal. But some people feel a sadness that just won't go away. Life seems hopeless. Feeling this way most of the day for two weeks or more is a sign of serious depression.


Unfortunately, I've had most of these complications, including the heart disease (triple-bypass when I was 34), retinopathy, neuropathy, kidney disease (two transplants), gastroparesis.
The better control you can keep, and the longer you can keep it, the better your chances of minimizing risks associated with these complications. Keep close control and monitoring of glucose levels, adhere to strict dieting and exercise regularly, and keep with your medications at the prescribed doses adn times. Hope this helps!

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

DAMAGE FROM DIABETES

Damage to the retina from diabetes (diabetic retinopathy) is a leading cause of blindness.
Damage to the kidneys from diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) is a leading cause of kidney failure.
Damage to the nerves from diabetes (diabetic neuropathy) is a leading cause of foot wounds and ulcers, which frequently lead to foot and leg amputations.
Damage to the nerves in the autonomic nervous system can lead to paralysis of the stomach (gastroparesis), chronic diarrhea, and an inability to control heart rate and blood pressure with posture changes.
Diabetes accelerates atherosclerosis, or the formation of fatty plaques inside the arteries, which can lead to blockages or a clot (thrombus), which can then lead to heart attack, stroke, and decreased circulation in the arms and legs (peripheral vascular disease).
Diabetes predisposes people to high blood pressure and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These independently and together with hyperglycemia increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and other blood vessel complications.
Many infections are associated with diabetes, and infections are frequently more dangerous in someone with diabetes because the body's normal ability to fight infections is impaired. To compound the problem, infections may worsen glucose control, which further delays recovery from infection.

According to recent studies conducted by the Pritikin Longevity Center, diabetes starts from too much fat in the diet and insufficient exercise, not malfunction of the pancreas as previously thought. The pancreas continues to produce insulin when you have diabetes but the body becomes insulin resistant. Research has shown that over 90% of diabetes cases can be TOTALLY CORRECTED with diet and exercise. That means that you don't have to have limbs removed due to diabetes-induced gangrene. You don't have to go blind or suffer cardiovascular abnormalities because of diabetes. You can actually REVERSE some of these conditions with diet (nutrition, not weight loss) and exercise, and the removal of parasites and candida.

Answer 10

there are quite a few, blindness...loss of limbs..kidney failure..im a diabetic and b/c i wasnt taking care of it the way I should, I ended up in DKA which you can read about on this website:

http://diabetes.webmd.com/tc/Diabetic-Ketoacidosis-DKA-Topic-Overview

I simply thought i had a bad viral cold and couldnt catch my breath, I was gasping for air..dizzy, incoherant..my then 18 YO daughter was home and I'll be forever grateful..she phoned my sister who is a nurse and my sister told her to call an ambulance...I could barely answer their questions or walk to the ambulance..dont really remember my first and ONLY ride in an ambulance...I started going crazy in the ER and they had to sedate me, my blood sugar was checked every 5 minutes...eventually I was send to ICU where I remained for 4 days until my sugar levels were where they needed to be. I've learned even tho its hard to be a diabetic and I've gotten tired of having this disease for 20 years..its nothing to play around with...I also thank god for my daughter being here and essentially getting me to the hospital..DKA is a serious condition and a lot of ppl die from it every year..
