Disease Complication

Stroke/ heart attack happened


when the blood high with glucose,it will slow down the blood flow (sticky blood).build up sticky plaque and worsen the stenosis (if any) and can lead to TIA/stroke/atherosclerosis,PAD and so on.


Eye damage : Diabetes retinopathy 
high blood glucose sugar will damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina while the proliferative retinopathy is new blood vessels grow along the retina, and without treatment-bleed,blurr vission-lead to blindness.

Kidney damage 
 When blood high with glucose, the excessive material will be passing-out through the kidney. So, when it is too sticky,it will depress the nephrons which functions to filtrit the excessive material and can cause the kidney damage/impotence.

Numbness and reduce blood supply
Hyperglycemia(high glucose level in blood) will lower the blood flow especially to the peripheral vessels. This can lead to numbness and nerve damage.

Pheripheral Vascular Disease
 Blood vessel damage in the feet may cause tissue damage. High glucose level will disturb the healing process  infections,foot ulcers,foot gangrene.
