The current way of life makes many vulnerable to the scourge of diabetes. In healthy people, the increase of glucose is easily transferred to the cells of the body. The pancreas produces the insulin needed to move excess blood sugar from the blood.

Unfortunately, for the diabetic things go wrong and remains the glucose in the blood, where they cause serious damage to many organs of the body such as heart and kidneys begin to do.

Any type of diabetes will eventually lead to complications if left untreated. The four most common complications are:

Nephropathy: excess glucose damages the function of the kidneys. Fully 60% of all dialysis patients are diabetic. The kidneys try to flush excess blood sugar, while many of the essential vitamins and minerals in the body must be emptied properly. When nutrients are not replaced, this leads to a downward spiral, when death finally results. Diabetics need more nutrients than the average non-diabetic. Unfortunately, the food is missing from the average person today, the minimum requirements of essential vitamins and minerals for proper health. This will ensure that many diabetics are headed for dialysis as her kidneys to fail.

Retinopathy: Many diabetics eventually blinded as glucose begins to damage the delicate nerves in the eye. Diabetics have linked a higher risk of developing glaucoma, cataracts and other problems with the eyes. See an eye care specialist is a necessity.
