HOW DIABETES AFFECTS THE BODY
The cardiovascular system includes the heart and blood vessels
The nervous system (nerve damage) called diabetic neuropathy is common in people with diabetes. It is most common in the legs and feet. According to a 2005 statement by the American Diabetes Association, up to 50% of people with diabetes have peripheral neuropathy. This typically starts as numbness that progresses to loss of pain and heat and cold in the feet or hands, making it difficult to sense injury.
The Visual system: which is made up of the eyes is caused by high blood sugar levels leading to blood vessel damage and fluid leakage in the vision-sensing part of the eye called the retina.
In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control reported that diabetes was the primary cause of kidney failure in 44% of people newly diagnosed with the condition. High levels of blood sugar can damage the kidneys.
