In the last month, I have been writing
about some of the complications of diabetes or related problems of
diabetes. I will list several of the blogs about complications of
diabetes, retinopathy and related, neuropathy which affects me and
then I will write about those I have not written about in detail.
This will be about nephropathy or kidney damage, atherosclerosis, and
deafness are the most common, and many don't include deafness. The
first three and deafness are grouped together under the term
microvascular complications because they result from damage to the
small blood vessels. The macrovascular complication is
atherosclerosis, which is caused by damage to the large blood
vessels.
There are several others that affect
type 1 diabetes and seldom affect those with type 2 diabetes. Then
there are those that affect both types, depression, hypoglycemia,
hyperglycemia, and a few others. Over the next few months, I hope to
write about all the complications.
Retinopathy – eye damage &
diseases Your eyesight is too important to ignore and keeping
your blood glucose levels near normal is the best treatment for your
eyes.
The above three blogs are about eye
diseases affected by high blood glucose levels.
Neuropathy – nerve damage
About two-thirds of the people with diabetes do develop neuropathy.
Some are more affected by this while others are able to continue
doing what they have been doing and are able to exercise. Others are
prevented from exercising because of the pain level. I urge everyone
to read the nine blogs as they contain a lot of information.
In the next blogs, I will write about
nephropathy. In my research, I apparently have not really done much
reading about nephropathy, as I made some surprising discoveries.
Hope that you will learn from the information as well.
