Vision problems
Research published in the American Library of Medicine indicates that diabetes can cause damage to the eyes leading to poor eyesight and vision loss.
This is because your blood sugar levels are always high over time which can damage the small blood vessels at the back of your eyes.
Damaged blood vessels can leak fluid and cause swelling. Diabetic eye diseases include diabetic retinopathy, fluid retention in the retina, cataracts and glaucoma.
Complication The naked eye has no warning signs. Adults with type one diabetes should have an eye exam within 5 years of being diagnosed and examined more often each year.
Patients with type 2 diabetes should have an eye exam immediately after diagnosis and annual check-ups.
Nerve damage
High blood sugar levels damage nerves that can stop sending signals to other parts of the body.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), diabetic neuropathy causes health problems, from mild numbness to pain, and it’s becoming difficult for you to function as normal.
Some common neurological diseases such as peripheral nerve damage, autonomic nerve damage, near nerve damage, localized nerve damage.
Diabetics pay attention to the symptoms associated with numbness, nausea, weak hands or legs in order to promptly detect the dangers that the nervous system is suffering from.
However, like other complications, keeping a stable glycemic index is a way to help prevent or delay nerve damage.
