Why do people with diabetes get complications?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my uncle has been carefully diagnosed with diabetes for more than a year. Yesterday, he was carefully diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy. The doctor said this is a complication of diabetes. So I wanted to ask the doctor, what are the reasons for diabetes to get complications?

Doctor's answer:

Diabetes primarily occurs due to poor blood sugar control, which can lead to the recurrence of some complications. This is because the blood supply can cause the re-emergence of certain diseases. As long as blood sugar levels are well-controlled, the likelihood of these complications recurring can be reduced. It is essential to maintain a controlled diet and engage in regular exercise. Additionally, the type of blood sugar-lowering medication may need to be adjusted based on blood sugar levels.
