10 Diabetes Complications

10 Diabetes Complications

If you have diabetes watch out for the following health complications

Diabetes can cause many serious health problems. If you’re not watchful, diabetes could lead to heart and blood vessel disease, amputation, blindness, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Luckily the development of health complications is not inevitable, there is much you can do to prevent their onset.

10 common diabetes complications

  1. Heart Disease

    The term “heart disease” refers to several types of heart conditions and is a very common diabetes complication. The most common type is coronary artery disease (CAD), which affects the blood flow to the heart and can cause a heart attack.

    Your doctor will routinely check your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

  2. Stroke

    Stroke symptoms include weakness on one side of the face or body, numbness, difficulty speaking, vision problems, or dizziness. Seek medical help immediately if you experience these symptoms.

  3. Kidney disease (Diabetic nephropathy)

    Kidney damage is common in diabetes. One in three diabetes sufferers may develop it. Annual urine tests and regular blood pressure checks are important.

  4. Nerve damage (Diabetic neuropathy)

    High blood sugar damages nerves, especially in the limbs. You might feel burning, pain, or numbness. Get your feet checked at least once a year.

  5. Eye damage (Diabetic retinopathy)

    Diabetes can damage blood vessels in the retina and cause vision loss. Early stages may not have symptoms. Annual eye exams are crucial.

  6. Gastroparesis

    This condition slows down stomach emptying due to nerve damage. Symptoms include nausea, bloating, pain, and vomiting undigested food.

    • Vomiting
    • Nausea
    • Bloating
    • Pain
    • Feeling full quickly
    • Lack of appetite
    • Weight loss
  7. Erectile dysfunction

    Diabetes increases the risk. Exercise, quitting smoking, and reducing stress may help. Speak to your doctor for treatment options.

  8. Skin problems

    High blood sugar encourages bacterial and fungal growth. One-third of diabetics experience skin issues, most of which can be treated.

  9. Infection

    High sugar weakens the immune system. Frequent or persistent infections may be linked to diabetes.

  10. Dental problems

    Diabetes weakens your body’s infection defenses, especially in the mouth. Visit the dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups.

How do I prolong the onset of diabetes complications?

Keep blood sugar levels within target range. According to the American Diabetes Association:

  • Before meals: 80–130 mg/dL
  • 1–2 hours after meals: below 180 mg/dL

Manage with lifestyle changes like:

  • Eating whole foods
  • Avoiding high-GI foods
  • Regular exercise
  • Quitting smoking

Get regular medical tests to catch complications early:

  • Annual urine tests for kidney disease
  • Yearly foot exams
  • Annual eye exams
  • Heart health screenings
  • Watch for digestive, sexual, skin, and infection symptoms
  • Regular dental checkups

Takeaway

Diabetes can lead to serious complications, but they can be delayed or avoided. Keep your blood sugar levels in check and get tested regularly.
