What changes can diabetes cause?
Long-term complications of diabetes develop gradually.
The longer you have diabetes — and the less controlled your blood sugar — the higher the risk of complications.
Eventually the complications formed on the background of diabetes can significantly reduce the patient's quality of life, unfortunately, sometimes this complication even becomes life threatening.
Possible complications include:
- Cardiovascular disease.
- Nerve damage (neuropathy).
- Kidney damage (nephropathy).
- Eye damage (retinopathy).
- Foot damage.
- Skin conditions.
- Alzheimer's disease.
- Hearing impairment.
- Depression.
