Long-term complications of diabetes develop gradually. The longer you have diabetes and the less controlled your blood sugar; the higher the risk of complications.

Possible complications include:
1. Kidney damage (nephropathy): Diabetes can damage kidneys. Severe damage can lead to kidney failure or irreversible end-stage kidney disease, which may require dialysis or a kidney transplant.

2. Cardiovascular disease: Diabetes dramatically increases the risk of various cardiovascular problems, including coronary artery disease with chest pain (angina), heart attack and narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis).

3. Nerve damage (neuropathy): Damage to the nerves related to digestion can cause problems with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation.

4. Eye damage (retinopathy): Diabetes can damage the blood vessels of the retina (diabetic retinopathy), potentially leading to blindness.

What is Gestational Diabetes?
Read below to get an insight on this:

Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but who have high blood glucose (sugar) levels during pregnancy are said to have gestational diabetes.

Gestational diabetes starts when your body is not able to make and use all the insulin it needs for pregnancy.

Without enough insulin, glucose cannot leave the blood and be changed to energy. Glucose builds up in the blood to high levels.

Take charge of your health so you and your baby can have the healthiest, happiest lives possible.
