Diabetes Complications

Diabetes-Complications

People with diabetes need to monitor and manage their blood sugar regularly.  No matter how careful you are, there is still the possibility of a problem.

  There are two types of complications you may face: severe and chronic.  Severe complications require emergency care.  Examples include hypoglycemia and ketoxidosis.

  If left untreated, these conditions can cause:
  •   Tours
  •   Loss of consciousness
  •   Death
  Chronic complications can occur when diabetes is not managed properly.  Diabetes causes high blood sugar levels.  If not controlled well over time, blood sugar levels can damage various organs, including:
  •   Eyes
  •   Kidneys
  •   Heart
  •   Quick
  Irregular diabetes can also damage the nerves.
  Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

  People with diabetes can have a sudden drop in their blood sugar.  Abstinence from food or taking too much insulin or other medications that increase the level of insulin in the body are common causes.  People who are on other diabetes medications that do not increase insulin levels are not on risk for hypoglycemia.  Symptoms may include:
  •   Blurred vision
  •   Fast heartbeat
  •   Headache
  •   Tremble
  •   Dizziness
  If your blood sugar drops too low, you may experience fainting, seizures or coma.

  Ketoacidosis

  It is a complication of diabetes that occurs when your body cannot use sugar, or glucose, as a fuel because your body does not have enough insulin.  If your cells are starving for energy, your body begins to lose fat.  Possibly called toxic acids, called ketone bodies, which are the result of fat loss, build up strength in the body.  This can cause:
  •   Dehydration
  •   Stomach pain
  •   Difficulty breathing
  Eye problems:-

  Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the eyes and cause various problems.  Possible eye conditions may include:

  Cataract

  Cataract deficiency is two to five times more likely to occur in people with diabetes through trust.  Cataracts cause clear eye lenses to cloud, preventing light from entering.  Light cataracts can be treated with sunglasses and glare-control lenses.  Severe cataracts can be treated with spectacles.

  Glaucoma

  This occurs when pressure builds up in the eye and restricts blood flow to the retina and optic nerve.  Glaucoma causes gradual loss of vision.  People with diabetes are a twice-trusted source, as is the possibility of developing glaucoma.

  Diabetic retinopathy

  This is a general term used to describe any retinal problem caused by diabetes.  In the early stages, capillaries (small blood vessels) grow in the back of the eye and form a sac.  This can cause swelling and bleeding that can distort your vision.

  It can also move forward in a useful way.  This is where the blood vessels in the retina are so damaged that they close and force new blood vessels to form.  These new vessels are weak and bleeding.  Expanded shape can lead to permanent loss of vision.

  Reduces macular edema

  The macula is the part of your eye that allows you to see and read faces.  Diabetic retinopathy is caused by macular edema.  When the capillary walls lose their ability to control the flow of matter between the blood and the retina, the eye may leak into the macula of the eye and cause it to swell.  This condition can lead to blurred vision and potential vision loss.  Immediate treatment is often effective and can prevent vision loss.

Diabetic kidney disease

  Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage your kidneys' ability to filter out the body.  It can also cause substances that are not normally filtered in the urine, such as proteins.  If you also have high blood pressure, you have a higher risk of kidney disease.  Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease.  If left untreated, diabetic kidney disease may require dialysis.

  Neuropathy

  Too much sugar in the bloodstream can damage the body's nerves.  It can be with the nerves that control the body's automatic digestion, and it can be with the nerves that control the feet like the feet.  This can cause:
  •   quarrel
  •   Numbness
  •   Pain
  •   Burning feelings
  If the numbness becomes severe, you may not even notice an injury until a major injury or infection develops.

  Damage to blood vessels

  High blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels in the body.  This can cause circulatory problems and increase the risk of leg problems and other diseases of the vessel such as heart attack and stroke.

  Foot and skin problems

  People with diabetes are more likely to have leg problems due to damage to nerves and blood vessels and restricting blood flow to the extremities.  If you have diabetes, it is important that you take your foot problems seriously.  With poor care, small sores or breaks in the skin can turn into deep skin ulcers.  If the skin ulcers get bigger or deeper, gangrene and foot cuts can result.

  Long-term complications and perspectives

  Long-term complications of diabetes develop slowly.  You have a higher risk of developing long-term complications of diabetes.  Proper precautionary care can help you overcome or avoid all of these complications of diabetes.  The better you manage your blood sugar levels the lower the risk of complications and the better your long term outlook.
