What complications does diabetes cause?

Patient's question:

Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected, and now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Please ask what complications are caused by diabetes.

Doctor's answer:

1、Diabetic retinopathy patients often suffer from retinopathy or cataracts. This is because patients with a longer history of diabetes are more prone to microvascular disease in the eyes, leading to vision impairment, and even eventual blindness.
2、Kidney disease patients often have foamy urine, which is an early sign of kidney damage caused by diabetes.
3、Long-term high blood sugar can damage the gastrointestinal tract of diabetic patients, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction and symptoms such as constipation and bloating.
