What are diabetic complications?

When you hear someone has died from diabetes, that is somewhat not true. Diabetics who don't take care of themselves in the proper manner will over time develop diabetic complications in the area they were neglecting. For example, having diabetes does not mean that you will definitely have heart and circulation problems. But if you don't have your cholesterol checked regularly, take the cholesterol medicine you are supposed to be taking, and eat nothing but food loaded with high fat, you are more likely to develop this type of complication. Diabetes simply means that you are more at risk of developing some of these and/or other diabetic complications. So you have to take care of yourself a little more than a non diabetic. Plus, there are lots of treatments that work well to cut your risk so that you can lead a long and healthy life.
