Over time, if left untreated or improperly managed, high blood glucose levels can cause a variety of costly and potentially life-threatening complications, including blindness, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage, and erectile dysfunction. Approximately 10% of acute care hospital admissions are related to diabetes and its secondary complications. Fortunately, good diabetes care and management can prevent or delay the onset of these complications.
People with diabetes are at very high risk of heart disease, also known as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke (cerebrovascular disease). In fact, up to 80% of people with diabetes will die as a result of a heart attack or stroke
