Diabetes Effects On:-
Lungs
As a result of a poorly functioning immune system, people with diabetes are more likely to catch a cold, flu or other illness that will likely require a longer period of time to recover. This can have a significant impact on blood sugar levels and the overall quality of an individual’s health. In fact, several lung diseases can affect diabetes and vice versa.
Hearts
Over time, high blood glucose from diabetes can damage your blood vessels and the nerves that control your heart and blood vessels. The longer you have diabetes, the higher chances that you will develop heart disease.In adults with diabetes, the most common causes of death are heart disease and stroke.
Brain
Your brain is a finely tuned organ. But it’s sensitive to the amount of sugar, or glucose, it receives as fuel. Whether you have type 1 or type 2, both the high blood glucose of uncontrolled diabetes and the low blood glucose that sometimes comes with diabetes treatment can affect your brain.
Kidney
Diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy) is a complication that occurs in some people with diabetes. In this condition the filters of the kidneys, the glomeruli, become damaged. Because of this the kidneys ‘leak’ abnormal amounts of protein from the blood into the urine.
Pancreas
This causes excess glucose to build up in the bloodstream. Over time, the effects of repeated high blood glucose levels will damage beta cells, further reducing the ability of the pancreas to produce insulin
