29/11/2023

Diabetes is a dangerous disease that can cause many dangerous health complications.

Here are 5 complications of diabetes to keep in mind:

Cardiovascular complications

If diabetes is not treated, it will cause cardiovascular complications such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia, metabolic disorders, blood clotting disorders, etc.

This risk happens 2-3 times higher than in normal people. This can increase the risk of stroke by 2-4 times.

Neurological complications

High glucose damages the blood vessels that feed the nerves, causing nerve damage. Symptoms are loss of feeling in the legs and arms, easy foot ulceration due to trauma, increasing the risk of leg amputation.

Kidney complications

Studies show that people with diabetes are 10 times more likely to have kidney failure than normal people. Symptoms include high blood pressure, edema, insomnia, fatigue, loss of appetite, etc.

Skin complications

People with diabetes are very susceptible to skin infections caused by bacteria or fungi. Diseases such as: granuloma annulare, cutaneous xanthomas, pimples, blisters, xanthelasma, vitiligo, acanthosis nigricans, etc. are more likely to occur in diabetic patients.

Eye complications

Frequent high blood sugar can damage blood vessels and cause eye complications such as retinopathy, small blood vessel bleeding in the fundus, decreased vision, blindness, cataracts, glaucoma, etc. .

To prevent dangerous complications, it is necessary to detect diabetes early and control it well.
