Diabetic Complications What is diabetes?

Patient's question:

I have diabetes and pay close attention to my diet. I'm worried about whether I will experience those symptoms again. What are the complications of diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar. High blood sugar is caused by defects in insulin secretion or its biological action, or both. The long-term high blood sugar in diabetes leads to various chronic complications, especially affecting the eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and nerves, causing dysfunction. Patients can use the above methods as supplementary treatment while receiving standard medical care. In daily diet, it is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and never overeat.
