NOTE

Beware the Silent Consequences of Diabetes

Mild to moderate blood sugar increases over time can significantly impact the nervous system, particularly affecting autonomic and peripheral nerves, which can disrupt blood pressure regulation and sensation in the limbs. Additionally, there is an elevated risk of dementia, particularly affecting memory in older adults. Diabetes also compromises kidney function, potentially leading to dialysis or kidney transplants due to reduced filtering ability. Furthermore, it accelerates atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes, and affecting blood vessels, which can impair vision and lead to blindness over time. These hidden risks require increased awareness and management to mitigate severe health outcomes.
