Long term Complications of Diabetes Mellitus

Long Term Complications of Diabetes Mellitus

Consistently high or low blood sugar, as we all know is an indicator of diabetes. And this high blood sugar if left unchecked will inevitably result in a number of long-term medical conditions that can seriously compromise health.

The good news is that with some judicious lifestyle changes, diabetics can not only control their blood sugar but even reverse their type-2 diabetes. Type-1 is harder to reverse—this depends on certain medical factors—but controlling their blood sugar can cut risks of complications drastically.

 Microvascular Complications of Diabetes

Kidney Damage:

Your kidneys have many clusters, known as glomeruli, which comprise millions of tiny blood vessels. These blood vessels filter waste from your blood. With time, long-term uncontrolled high blood sugar damages this delicate filtering system.

This can lead to kidney damage or irreversible end-stage kidney disease, requiring regular dialysis or even a kidney transplant.

Nerves:

Unchecked high-blood sugar injures walls of the many tiny blood vessels, called capillaries, whose job is to nurture the nerves leading to your limbs. Damage to these capillaries can be experienced as tingling, numbness, burning, or pain usually beginning at the tips of toes and/or fingers slowly spreading up the limbs.
