Complications
It’s very important to control your diabetes because this disease can have very serious side affects on any body part.
Here is a list of some of the negative affects diabetes can have if uncontrolled:
*Eye problems – blindness
*Kidney problems – kidney failure
*Heart/blood vessel problems – heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, poor circulation
*Nerve damage – neuropathy
*Amputation – Loss of feet and/or legs
*Foot problems – foot ulcers
*Dental disease
*Diabetic coma
I spoke with Dr. Long Nguyen who treats diabetic patients on a daily basis. We discussed possible side affects from uncontrolled diabetes and what patients can do to manage this disease.
