Question: Type 2 diabetes what will happen to your body over the long run if diabetes is left unchecked?
Answers:

Type 2 diabetes is very often associated with high blood pressure and high levels of blood lipids (fats) such as cholesterol and triglycerides. Diabetes alone can damage the walls of your arteries, and both high blood pressure as well as high lipids speed this process along. This artery damage leads to strokes, heart attacks, blindness, kidney failure, and blockages in the arteries in the legs which can cause gangrene, leading to amputation. It also damages the tiny arteries which supply the nerves to your fingers and toes, causing a painful and difficult-to-treat condition called neuropathy.
Scientific studies show that most of these effects of diabetes can be prevented with effective control of blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels.

constant heel pain is a warning sign for those who suffer from diabetes and aren't controlling their diet or health.. this means that the diabetes is affecting the feet.. if constantly ignored the feet can turn black...
diabetes can trigger a domino effect of other health issues such as cholesterol or blood pressure as well
