Diabetes can pose significant risks and complications for my body. If left unmanaged, high blood sugar levels can damage various organs and systems, leading to severe health problems. My cardiovascular system is particularly vulnerable, with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Additionally, diabetes can affect my kidneys, potentially causing diabetic nephropathy or kidney failure. It can also impact my eyesight, leading to diabetic retinopathy or even blindness. Nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy, can result in tingling, pain, and loss of sensation in my extremities. Diabetes demands diligent management to mitigate these risks and maintain optimal health.
