Thats some serious stuff, having diabetes can result in serious health problems later on in life
If you don't take it serious it can result in
Blood vessel damage within the eye (retinopathy). This can lead to blindness.
Kidney disease (nephropathy) or kidney failure.
Nerve damage (neuropathy) especially of the hands and feet, causing tingling, numbness and weakness.
Narrowing of the blood vessels due to fatty deposits (atherosclerosis). This increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and poor blood flow in the legs.
I know because my dad has had diabetes for 30 years, his health problem is the last one i listed, his blood vessels are so bad now because of diabetes that he can't even have a triple heart bypass.
Diabetes is by no means a death sentence but if you do not take it seriously then your going to be seriously risking your health in the future.
Take care of yourself
