General Health & Prevention

How does diabetes affect the body and what are its main complications?

Diabetes is a chronic sugar metabolism disorder affecting virtually every body organ when uncontrolled. Understanding complications motivates patients to adhere to treatment and follow-up.

Main Complications:

  • Nerves (Neuropathy): Peripheral nerve damage — causes numbness and tingling in feet. Patient doesn't feel injuries, delaying discovery.
  • Blood vessels (Vasculopathy): Narrows arteries reducing blood flow — especially to feet. Causes cold feet and slow wound healing.
  • Immunity: Weakens immune system — bacteria grow faster in high sugar and white blood cells function weaker.
  • Kidneys (Nephropathy): Kidney damage — may lead to renal failure.
  • Eyes (Retinopathy): Retinal damage — may cause blindness.
  • Heart: Doubles risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Link with Wounds:

Diabetes is the world's leading cause of chronic wounds and limb amputations. 25% of diabetics will develop a foot ulcer during their lifetime.

At BEIT TARIQ Center, we emphasize the importance of diabetes control as a fundamental part of any wound treatment.
