According to the World Health Organization (WHO), people with diabetes are two-three times more likely to suffer heart attacks and strokes. Over time uncontrolled blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels.
This is painful condition wherein high blood sugar levels are responsible for nerve damage, most often affecting the lower limbs. Infection can cause pain and numbness in the legs and feet and at its worse can even lead to amputation.
When the diabetes is not treated on time or is uncontrollable it can lead to eye problems mostly caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina. This can lead to blindness.
People with long-term diabetes are more likely to be diagnosed with kidney failure compared to those with normal blood sugar levels. The onslaught of high blood glucose levels over time wreaks havoc on the kidney, resulting in damage.

About
Diabetology
Among these, the highest prevalence is seen in senior citizens within the age group of 70-79 years.
But, younger populations are also prone to developing diabetes because of sedentary lifestyle, poor diet and lack of exercise.
In Type 1 diabetes, sometimes called childhood-onset diabetes, the body is not able to produce insulin, so the patient has to take insulin every day.
