Answers:
Complications of properly controlled diabetes!.!?!? I can't think of any!. Unless you consider a better quality of life, better health, and longer living and keeping all of your toes, and fingers, and possibly using less or no medications, complications!. Nope, in my book, there are none!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's a question of Type I or Type II!. They're almost totally different diseases in many ways!.
Properly controlled diabetes massively lowers the risks of essentially everything, but eventually certain problems do show up, regardless of how well you control your diabetes!. People are a bit more fallible and imperfect than organs!.
Diabetic retinopathy - involves damage to parts of the eye, an area rather delicate and sensitive to the problems of diabetes!. Can cause blindness eventually, but starts out as vision blurring!. Essentially everyone with diabetes eventually gets it!. Even with perfect diabetic control, there's some detectable after about ten years, however how it progresses in the general population isn't exactly clear!. Data on this is a little hard to come by, as most people don't control their diabetes well!. However, it can be caught early, and there are treatments to reduce the severity!.
The big one is diabetic neuropathy - this is the one that kills small nerves and blood vessles, causes erectile dysfunction in men, painful sensations, numbness, and leads to all those amputations!. With rigidly controlled Type 1, you rarely see this until very late at life (data's unclear, I'm inferring)!. The only time you see it in a Type 1 under 30 is when they've had a LOT of bouts of DKA(usually as a teenager)!. More common in Type 2 it seems, as that's harder control!. This can get wickedly bad, as the pain is very difficult to treat (opiates don't work well), you can get paralysis of parts due to nerve death!. Ugly!. Ugly condition!. One of the big races in pharmaland right now is to actually come up with a drug that works for treating the pain involved in this, as mentioned opiates work terribly for it due to the direct nerve damage!. There's candidates in trials, lots of small time R&D companies have good looking drugs in Phase I/II!.
And the other big one is diabetic nephropathy - kidney damage!. THe kidney does not like uncontrolled diabetes, and this one shows up rarely in people who keep things under control!. Type IIs seem to get it more often (see above poorer control)!. Basically wears down the kidneys!. Usually shows up at greater than 50 years of age!.
And there's a lot of other cardiovascular problems (missing lecture notes on these)
Hope that's useful!. My diabetes notes are several years old and rather mixed up!. I don't deal with any diabetic situations or research directly in the area I'm in!. A doctor could probably give better details with more up to date info!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The POTENTIAL complications -- blindness, amputations, kidney disease, heart attack, strokes, sexual problems -- are the same as for uncontrolled diabetes!.
But they take MUCH longer to develop, if they develop at all!. By properly controlling the diabetes, most diabetics lead completely "normal" lives!. It is not until old age sets in, and the organs start to fail naturally, that the complications become apparent!.
The key to this is getting A1C tests, The A1C test measures your average blood sugars over a 90-day period!. So a diabetic should get an A1C test done every 3 months (sooner than that is too frequent)!.
A NORMAL A1C reading is between 5 and 6!. A reading above 7 is considered "out of control"!. Most doctor will accept a reading between 6 and 7 for a diabetic patient, but between 5 and 6 is even better!.
The A1C test does NOT replace the daily "Finger Stick" tests that all diabetic must do!. Best control is obtained when the readings are taken at least 4 times a day (before each meal and before bed), and meals (and possibly insulin) are adjusted accordingly!.
Don't for get to take you other meds, get plenty of exercise, and maintain a normal weight!
Sounds like a lot, but the benefits -- a more normal lifestyle -- are worth it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
