India is the world’s ‘diabetes capital’. Well, it can also increase your risk for many serious health problems. Do you know – Diabetes can turn you blind? Isn’t it shocking? It is, right! It affects the vision of more than half of the 18 million people diagnosed with diabetes aged 18-years or older.

This is certainly not an end to the health challenges diabetes bring home for us. It is not just about ‘Sugar’ level rise and fall in the body – it can create havoc if left untreated.

For timely prevention and management of the disease, one must know about all the diabetes complications that can make your body suffer to the larger extent. Here is what diabetes can do to your body –

Impacts your Heart Health

Chest pain, high cholesterol, narrowing of the arteries due to fatty deposits, high blood pressure: all can be a result of uncontrolled diabetes. Many of these are silent conditions, only becoming apparent when you are having a major cardiac event.

Serious Impact on Your Kidneys

Early in diabetes, the parts of the kidneys that work to filter the blood may be damaged. Hence, early testing for kidney disease, before it causes permanent damage is very important. Kidney disease may have no symptoms, or it may include a feeling of tiredness and general weakness; trouble sleeping, swelling or vomiting.

Blurred or Loss of Vision

Diabetes is a leading cause of blindness. Worldwide, 93 million people have diabetic retinopathy (DR), including 21 million with Diabetic Macular Edema (DME); another 300 million people are at risk. Both the eye conditions - DR and DME are commonly seen in the working-age population. One easily manageable condition can quickly become a life changing disability. Don’t let it happen; take homeopathy medicines for diabetes and treat it well before it becomes a life changing disability.

Poor Healing

Diabetes can cause wounds or sores in the skin to heal more slowly, which can result in people with diabetes being more susceptible to infections. Amputation (surgically cutting off a limb) is relatively common in uncontrolled diabetes.

Loss of Teeth

Many people get plaque on their teeth. Plaque is a sticky film that comes from chewing food. It is filled with germs. In diabetes, high blood sugar helps these germs grow. Diabetes can cause red, sore, or swollen gums that bleed when you brush your teeth. Other problems include bad breath, gum disease, or tooth loss. However, with time this can result in complete loss of your teeth and more importantly - the loss of your smile.

Nerve Damage

Nearly 70 percent of people with diabetes will suffer from nerve damage. High blood sugar levels can harm nerves, resulting in numbness or loss of feeling in the feet, hands, or legs.

Things go wrong down in the stomach

With the nerve damage that may be caused by poorly controlled diabetes, can come nausea, constipation, or diarrhea.

Knowing all the complications of diabetes and imagining its real life effect – no one would really ignore the early signs and symptoms of diabetes. This is the easiest way to get rid of this condition – early diagnosis – early treatment – can give you a chance to live a healthy and happy life.

Well-controlled diabetes can keep all these effects at bay and even stop them. To better control your diabetes, make sure to control your blood glucose levels with homeopathy medicines for diabetes combined with a healthy lifestyle pattern. Eating healthy, losing weight, and engaging in regular physical activity all can help keep your diabetes under control and your health on track.

Homeopathy treatment for diabetes helps a person to manage life without insulin injections. Plus, the homeopathic medicines for diabetes doctors suggest are free of side-effects, non-toxic and non-additive.
