Diabetes, a seemingly common chronic disease, conceals a significant health hazard.
It not only affects all aspects of the daily lives of people with diabetes, but can also cause a series of serious complications.
Many diabetes patients have a question in their minds: how long does it take to detect complications?
In fact, there is no fixed answer to this question because it is influenced by a number of factors.
Diabetes complications are classified into acute and chronic acute complications, such as diabetes ketone acid poisoning, high-permeability comas, etc., which tend to take place and require timely medical attention.
Chronic complications, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes kidneys, retina and neurosis, are usually seen in a longer history of diabetes.
In general, the longer diabetes occurs, the higher the risk of complications. But this is not absolute.
Some diabetics may have complications a few years after the disease, while others have no apparent complications even for more than a decade or decades.
There are many factors that affect the timing of diabetes complications. Blood sugar control is one of the most critical factors. If diabetes patients are able to keep their blood sugar under strict control and remain at more stable levels in the long term, the onset of complications may be significantly delayed. On the contrary, if the blood sugar is more volatile and low in the long run, complications may come to the door early.
Lifestyles also have an important impact on the timing of complications. A reasonable diet, a proper amount of exercise, abdication of alcohol and good mentalities can help to slow the occurrence of complications.
Moreover, genetic factors cannot be ignored. Some may be born more prone to diabetes complications, as some are born with low immunity.
If there are cases of diabetes complications in the family, the risk of their own complications may also be relatively high.
The onset of diabetes complications varies from person to person, but through measures such as strict control of blood sugar and maintenance of a good lifestyle, we can delay its arrival as much as possible. Let us work together to fight diabetes, the little monster, to protect our health.
