Living with diabetes can feel overwhelming at times, especially with the potential for serious complications like nerve damage, heart disease, and kidney problems. However, these challenges don’t have to define your life. With proper, compassionate care, many complications can be prevented, and you can take control of your health. At Ethical Homecare, we’re here to help you manage diabetes and reduce the risk of these complications, offering the care you need in the comfort of your own home.
Common Diabetes Complications
Diabetes can lead to various complications, but with the right care, many of these can be avoided:
Neuropathy (Nerve Damage): Numbness or tingling in your hands and feet can impact your daily activities.
Heart Disease: Diabetes can increase the risk of heart problems, such as heart disease or strokes.
Kidney Disease: Over time, high blood sugar can harm your kidneys, affecting their function.
Vision Loss: Diabetes can lead to changes in your vision, including possible blindness.
While these are serious conditions, it’s important to know that with the right help, many of these complications can be prevented.
