However, excessive glucose, resulting from a drop in blood sugar levels, can cause various complications in the body. In this article, we will examine the diseases caused by diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diabetes can damage other organs to a certain extent. This can occur if individuals are not following or taking their treatment seriously. These complications generally appear in the advanced stages of the disease. Early diagnosis and treatment make it possible to protect against both diabetes and its related diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When blood sugar levels are not controlled, various complications can occur in the short and long term. Damage can occur to various structures such as blood vessels, heart, eyes, and kidneys. These diseases can be seen in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Occurrence of Hypoglycemia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In patients as a result of low blood sugar <strong>hypoglycemia<\/strong> Hypoglycemia can occur. Patients with hypoglycemia are unable to perform necessary activities. Sugary foods can be consumed to help balance the situation. There are also tablets with a high sugar content. When blood sugar levels are stabilized, various effects disappear. If left untreated, hypoglycemia can lead to serious consequences, causing permanent damage to the kidneys and heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fungal Infections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diabetic patients can experience fungal infections. These fungi can appear on and under the nails. They are a type of fungus susceptible to bacterial infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Chronic Problems Caused by Diabetes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prolonged high blood sugar levels due to diabetes can lead to damage to blood vessels and nerves. This condition, which causes blockages in the heart and brain vessels, can also cause blockages in the blood vessels of the legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Circulatory System Disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is frequently seen among people with diabetes. Individuals with diabetes can experience conditions such as stroke and heart attack. One of the biggest contributing factors is atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Atherosclerosis can be caused by conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and excessive weight gain. These conditions can result in fatigue, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drnecatkaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diyabetin-Yol-Actigi-Hastaliklar-Neledir2-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10074\" width=\"882\" height=\"587\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drnecatkaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diyabetin-Yol-Actigi-Hastaliklar-Neledir2-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/drnecatkaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diyabetin-Yol-Actigi-Hastaliklar-Neledir2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/drnecatkaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diyabetin-Yol-Actigi-Hastaliklar-Neledir2-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/drnecatkaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Diyabetin-Yol-Actigi-Hastaliklar-Neledir2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Diabetes-Related Eye Disease (Retinopathy)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drnecatkaplan.com\/en\/the-effects-of-diabetes-on-the-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diabetes and eye diseases<\/a><\/strong> These conditions can occur together. High blood sugar can damage the blood vessels in the eyes. These vessels can dilate, leading to leakage of blood. Because blood flow is impaired through the damaged vessels, various vision problems can occur. Eye diseases are rare in diabetes, but if they progress, treatment becomes more difficult. To avoid delays in treatment, regular eye screenings are necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Diabetes and Kidney Diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kidney damage is one of the most important contributing factors in diabetes. It is generally seen in older patients with advanced diabetes. Severe kidney damage can lead to the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation. Early diagnosis can prevent kidney damage. As kidney problems progress, urea levels in the blood rise and blood pressure increases. For this reason, conditions such as swelling in the feet and decreased urine output may occur. In advanced kidney disease, the patient may begin diabetes treatment. This method is tiring and affects social life. To eliminate kidney damage that may occur due to diabetes, it is necessary to follow healthy eating and exercise rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are the complications of the foot?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diabetes can cause burning, pain, numbness, and coldness in the feet. It is the most common type of nerve disease. This can lead to muscle weakness, calluses, and negatively affect weight distribution. Possible foot syndromes may also occur. <strong>polyneuropathy<\/strong> These conditions are known as foot problems. Sweating, dry skin, and various cracks can occur. To prevent such complications, individuals should pay attention to foot care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking the necessary precautions regarding diabetes eliminates the risk of various complications that may arise. Early diagnosis and treatment make it possible to overcome this disease.
