A key goal of diabetes treatment is to prevent complications because, over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves, although the person may not know damage is taking place. It's important to diagnose and treat diabetes early, because it can cause damage even before it makes someone feel ill.
How diabetes causes long-term problems is unclear. However, changes in the small blood vessels and nerves are common. These changes may be the first step toward many problems that diabetes causes. Scientists can't predict who among people with diabetes will develop complications, but complications are most likely to occur in someone who has had diabetes for many years. However, because a person can have diabetes without knowing it, a complication may be the first sign.

Diabetes and Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a medical term which refers to a nerve disorder. Diabetic neuropathy is nerve disorder caused by either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Over time, diabetics who do not strictly control their condition, may develop damage to the nerves around the body. Incidences are more common in patients with poor control, overweight, have higher levels of blood fat and blood pressure, and are over the age of 40. The longer a person has diabetes, the greater the risk becomes of developing neuropathies.

Complications of Diabetes
Short term complications can happen quickly such as hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, and hyper-osmolar syndrome. Patients need to be aware of their signs and symptoms and what to do to reverse them. Long term complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, neuropathy, diseases of the eyes, peripheral vascular disease and more can seriously compromise the diabetic patient.
