Depending on the type of diabetes you have, either your body doesn’t make insulin, doesn’t make enough insulin, or doesn’t use insulin in the right way. Both the forms are equally bad and need good care and proper regular treatment. If not then both willlead to complications which might turn into life threatening problems at times.
Diabetes is a serious disease that can affect different parts of your body through its complications. Diabetes can damage your eyes, heart and blood vessels, kidneys, nerves, teeth and gums. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to:
heart attack
stroke
toe, foot, or leg infections requiring amputation
blindness
kidney failure
tooth and gum disease
pregnancy complications
so keep diabetes in controll.
