High blood sugar generally known as diabetes if not taken seriously can cause many complication. I'm not a doctor nor I'm expert on the subject but i have seen many people in my family who are suffering form this disease.
If diabetes is not taken care of for a longer period the patient may suffer different complications. Some of which are as under:-

  1. Nerve damage: Excess sugar can injure the walls of the tiny blood vessels that nourish your nerves
  2. Kidney damage: The kidneys contain millions of tiny blood vessel clusters that filter waste from your blood. Diabetes can damage this delicate filtering system.
  3. Eye damage: Diabetes can damage the blood vessels of the retina (diabetic retinopathy), potentially leading to blindness.
    4.Foot damage: Nerve damage in the feet or poor blood flow to the feet increases the risk of various foot complications.
  4. Skin conditions: Diabetes may leave you more susceptible to skin problems, including bacterial and fungal infections.
    Risk of these diseases may be increase with diabetes. So every effort should be made to maintain blood sugar and avoid these complication.
