About diabetes

Diabetes can damage the blood vessels in the eye, which can cause various diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, retinal damage (retinopathy), to blindness.

Diabetics are particularly prone to foot problems. Damage to nerve tissue and blood vessels will limit blood flow to these places. Minor scrapes on the feet or skin can easily turn into very serious infections. Without serious attention, the wound will spread and damage. In the worst case, the part must be amputated so that the infection does not continue to spread.

Kidneys have millions of fine blood that filters from the blood. If these fine blood vessels are blocked or leaky, the kidney performance can decrease. These complications are usually also associated with high blood pressure. It is very important to choose the right treatment. Severe damage to the kidneys can even lead to kidney failure. If you have kidney failure, you may need dialysis (a treatment process that mimics kidney function) or even a kidney transplant.
