โ*COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES*
โ- *Retinopathy*: Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision problems and potentially causing blindness. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection and treatment.
โ- *Diabetic Foot*: Nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor circulation can lead to foot ulcers, infections, and potentially amputations. Proper foot care prompt treatment of foot issues are essential.
โ- *Kidney Failure/Renal Failure/Chronic Kidney Disease*: Diabetes can damage the kidneys' filters (nephrons), leading to kidney failure. Managing blood sugar and blood pressure levels can help slow disease progression.
โ- *Erectile Dysfunction in Men*: Diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to erectile dysfunction. Managing blood sugar levels, exercise, and medication can help alleviate symptoms.
โ- *Heart Disease*: Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease, including conditions like coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Managing risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking is crucial.
โ- *Stroke*: Diabetes increases the risk of stroke, which occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted. Managing risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking can help reduce the risk.
โ- *Amputation*: Poor circulation, nerve damage, and foot ulcers can lead to amputations. Proper foot care, prompt treatment of foot issues can help prevent amputations.
