- CONCLUSION: Our results provide a possibility of using novel tools, IVCCM and NGF, as common diagnostic tools for diabetic microvascular complications, but it should be followed by a large population study. (e-dmj.org)
- Long-term complications from high blood sugar can include heart disease , strokes , diabetic retinopathy where eyesight is affected, kidney failure which may require dialysis , and poor circulation of limbs leading to amputations . (thediabeticpharmacist.com)
Nephropathy3
