The harm from diabetes complications

Diabetes high complication rate, resulting in high death rate and high morbidity. Research shows that 10 years after onset diabetes, 30% to 40% of patients in at least a complication. Neuropathy prevalence of diabetes in the course of five years, 10, 20 respectively to reach 30% to 40%, 60% to 70% and 90%. Retinopathy in the course of 10 years and 15 years later, 40% to 50% and 70% to 80% of patients with the disease. About 10 percent of patients in the onset after 15 years will develop into a serious visual impairment, and 2 percent of patients will be completely blind. Micro-proteinuria is a sign of diabetic nephropathy. Microalbuminuria in the course of the emergence of 10 and 20 can reach 10 percent to 30 percent and 40 percent, and 20 after a 5% to 10% of patients from deteriorating into end-stage renal disease. Adolescence incidence of diabetes at the age of 50 to 40 percent for the development of serious kidney disease, need to hemodialysis and kidney transplantation, it can only face death. In addition, patients with diabetes in cardiovascular disease risk than the general population increased by two to four times, and age of onset in advance. As the blood vessels and patients with diabetes neuropathy, often leads to foot ulcers, then amputation. From the cause of death, the diabetic patients, the cause of death is complications. Among them, ischemic heart disease patients with diabetes is the main reason why the death of the diabetic patients died of 60 percent to 80 percent. Cerebrovascular disease caused about 10 per cent of the deaths, the mortality rate of non-diabetic patients 2 times. Diabetic nephropathy general of the 10% of the total death to 30 percent, the smaller the age of onset, diabetes, kidney lead to the higher proportion of deaths.
