When Things Go Wrong

unaware they have this condition.
Once diabetes has been diagnosed, it is treated by controlling blood

related to diabetic tissue damage.

retinopathy, a condition that eventually impairs vision.
Diabetes and your feet

Diabetic neuropathy most commonly
affects the nerves in the feet and legs. It is generally mild and
may be associated with a loss of feeling which often goes unnoticed.
Combined with poor circulation, neuropathy can lead to foot injury,
foot infection and foot ulcers.
Diabetes and heart disease

Diabetics
are more likely than non-diabetics to have high blood pressure, a
heart attack or a stroke. You can reduce your risk of these
complications be eating a healthy diet, stop smoking and taking
exercise.
