Living with Diabetes
Serious Health Implications
Diabetes can cause far-reaching health implications like heart disease, nerve damage and kidney damage. Amputation, blindness and even death can all result from not properly diagnosing or treating diabetes. Tackle these issues head-on and start by arming yourself with knowledge of these serious complications.
Heart Disease and Stroke
If you have diabetes, you are at risk for having a heart attack or stroke.
Kidney Damage
Reduce the risk of early kidney disease by controlling your blood glucose and blood pressure.
Neuropathy (Nerve Damage)
Nerve damage from diabetes called diabetic neuropathy can lead to many kinds of problems.
Blindness or Vision Problems
Diabetes can damage the blood vessels of the eye, potentially leading to blindness.
Sleep Apnea
Are you ever jolted awake by the sound of your own snoring? Talk to your doctor about obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Gum Disease
