What are the dangers of diabetes?

Patient's question:

Is it true that a doctor with diabetes cannot eat sugary foods? What are the dangers of diabetes? Can it cause blindness? Can the problem be solved through surgery?

Doctor's answer:

If the blood sugar of diabetes is not well-controlled, it often leads to a series of complications, such as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic foot, also known as gangrene. It cannot be said that diabetics cannot eat sugar; it is best to eat less liquid and more solid. Surgery cannot solve the problem. It can only be controlled by taking oral medications or insulin for a long time to keep blood sugar within the normal range.
