Nov 07, 2009 | Complications of Diabetes
i have heard lots of bad stories
about people that diabetes complications.
my question is…
is it possible to get complications
even if you blood sugar is in good control???
sorry if this is a dumb question
i just want to know
thanks in advance for the answers
It’s possible, but not likely that you will have severe complications as long as you keep you blood sugar under control. However, if you smoke or drink or do drugs, you will be more at risk than other smokers, drinkers and drug users. You should also try to exercise and eat healthy to help avoid complications

U know up until I got pregnant with my first son which by then I had diabetes for14 years I didnt have any complications and my blood sugars were never under control. My A1C was 11 i think, which is really bad. Now my A1C is 6.2 and I have had it for 18 years now and still havent had any problems. Some say Im lucky to have this disease for so long and have nothing wrong. I have lots of tests done every 6 months by my endrocologonist and nothing has ever been wrong. and I have always been small to which is hard to believe with out of control blood sugars for so long. But personally if ur blood sugars are in good control I think you would be just fine

In general, if you stay in good control, you won’t have any more complications than "normal" people.
Type 1 diabetic 37 years, no neuropathy, good circulation. Some retinopathy, which sucks.
