Diabetes Complications

Diabetes complications arise when high blood sugar levels cause damage to various body parts over time. Common complications include heart disease, which increases the risk of heart attacks; nerve damage, leading to pain or loss of feeling, especially in the feet; kidney damage, significantly affecting kidney function; and eye problems, increasing the risk of blindness. Furthermore, poor circulation can lead to infections and, in severe cases, amputations. Managing blood sugar levels, regular check-ups, and a healthy lifestyle are key to preventing these serious complications.
