The following are seven diabetic complications and how to overcome them:
1. Effect on fat and metabolism (Diabetic ketoacidosis):

If you’re not managing your diabetic condition properly and you have fever, diarrhoea, vomiting and/or going through a lot of stress or are an alcoholic, you need to be extra careful about developing this condition called ‘ketoacidosis’.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious condition that can lead to diabetic coma (passing out for a long time) or even death. When your cells don’t get the glucose they need for energy, your body begins to burn fat for energy, which produces ketones.

Ketones are chemicals that the body creates when it breaks down fat to use for energy. The body does this when it doesn’t have enough insulin to use glucose, the body’s normal source of energy. When ketones build up in the blood, they make it more acidic.

They are a warning sign that your diabetes is out of control or that you are getting sick. See solution here

High levels of ketones can poison the body. When levels get too high, you can develop DKA. DKA may happen to anyone with diabetes, though it is rare in people with type 2.
2. Effect on the eyes (Diabetic retinopathy):

The early symptom of eye problems related to diabetes is blurred vision and double vision. It can also cause a

severe, permanent loss of vision. Diabetes increases the risk of developing cataract and glaucoma.
3. Effect on kidneys (Diabetic nephropathy):

If you notice swelling in your feet and legs or around your eyes, your kidneys might be getting affected by uncontrolled blood sugar level.

If you have hypertension (or high BP), your chances of developing this is even higher. Read about how uncontrolled diabetes can cause kidney failure and stroke here
4. Effect on nerves (Diabetic neuropathy):

Diabetic gangrene (infection of the leg, leading to decay of flesh) can occur and the leg may have to be

amputated.

Uncontrolled diabetes can also affect nerves that control your heartbeat, blood pressure, digestion, blood flow to organs etc leading to diarrhoea, erectile dysfunction, loss of bladder control, vision changes, and dizziness......to read more please visit http://naijalatest.com.ng/2016/05/11/7-health-complications-of-diabetes/
