What are some less common complications of Type I Diabetes?

Aug 31, 2009 | Complications of Diabetes

I am 33 and have had diabetes for 25 years. I have not taken good care of myself at all and am now paying the price. I know the big complications… I am now having all these little crazy things happening to me… I am trying to figure out what in the hell is going to happen next. Thanks all.

Diabetic complications can be classified broadly as microvascular or macrovascular disease.

Microvascular complications include neuropathy (nerve damage), nephropathy (kidney disease) and vision disorders (eg retinopathy, glaucoma, cataract and corneal disease).

Macrovascular complications include heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease (which can lead to ulcers, gangrene and amputation). Other Complications of Diabetes include infections, metabolic difficulties, impotence, autonomic neuropathy and pregnancy problems.
