do people still have diabetes complications even if they have treatment for diabetes if so why?

Yes. Sometimes a person was diabetic long enough to begin the damage process before being diagnosed and treated. It can be years before you notice the damage, but often it is these symptoms which a person originally sees a doctor for (and ends up diagnosed as diabetic).
Sometimes they have recurrent, periodic episodes of high sugars that can cause problems that won’t be noticable for many years.
Sometimes the type of damage will occur anyway, even with treatment and good control. There is more to diabetes than just sugar, and some of it we are only now beginning to understand.

Because even with insulin,going through puberty,your blood sugar can fluctuate.There will be way fewer complications in the future because of new advances in diabetes care.

people don’t want to admit it until it’s too late or they don’t manage their blood sugar.

You can avoid or at least reduce many of the diabetes complications, if you manage the blood sugar level at normal or near normal.

Oral meds and insulin are not cures for diabetes, they only help us control it. But our blood glucose still fluctuates and causes damage when it’s too low or too high. Over time it affects the blood vessels in particular, which in turn affects the eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, stomach, and pretty much any part of the body.
