Discussion of the week
We are proposing our community members to join us this week and do a post that answers the following question 👇
There are various complications that may arise during the course of management of diabetes and people who have this conditions can attest to this. Ranging from emergency complications, short term complication such as hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, Diabetic hyperketotic state etc and long term ones like diabetic foot ulcers due to poor wound healing and other co-morbidites such as neurovascular affectation and hypertension and even nephropathy and retinopathy.
Here are some suggestions to help those creative minds:
- Do you know the long-term effects of uncontrolled diabetes on the cardiovascular system.
- Can diabetes cause kidney diseases?, Yes.
- Diabetes and Blindness || Diabetic retinopathy and its impact on vision.
- Diabetic neuropathy and its effect on nerve function.
- The link between diabetes and increased risk of infections.
