1. Long Term
Complications
Diabetes can cause long-term complications
such as heart attacks, strokes, blindness due to glaucoma, kidney disease, and
injuries that can not heal until the infection must be amputated. Even the most
terrible level is death. These complications are caused by damage to blood
vessels, nerve damage, and the inability of the body to fight infection.
However, not all diabetics experience these long-term problems.
2.
Hypoglycemia
Although not good when the sugar content is
high, but a person with diabetes mellitus or diabetes can also suddenly
experience a very low blood sugar below the normal threshold called
hypoglycemia. It is also very dangerous because it can make the sufferer
tremble, sweat, tired, hungry, irritable, or confused or fast heartbeat, blurred
vision, headache, numbness, or tingling around the mouth and lips. Can even
convulse or faint. Often, the right food menu and regular eating times can
prevent these problems from occurring.
3.
Ketoacidosis
If glucose can not be treated properly by the
body, then the fats and proteins in the body utilized by the body to be used as
energy. But when the body burns fat, formed the rest of the combustion called
ketones. Ketones accumulate in the blood and flow into the urine. Since ketones
are more acidic than healthy body tissues, high levels of ketones in the blood
can lead to a serious condition called ketoacidosis. The earliest symptoms of
diabetic ketoacidosis are thirst and frequent urination, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue and abdominal pain (especially in children). Breathing becomes deep and
fast as the body attempts to correct the acidity of the blood. The breath of
the patient is like the smell of acetone. Diabetic Ketoacidosis can develop
into a coma, sometimes in just a few hours.
