- High blood glucose levels are an important factor in increasing your risk of developing long-term diabetic complications
- High blood glucose levels, along with a deficiency of insulin, can cause a build-up of cholesterol and other deposits on the lining of blood vessels, accelerating their blockage
- The blockage of the blood vessels is also greatly accelerated by untreated high blood pressure which can also damage the eyes and nerves
- High blood fat levels, high cholesterol and being overweight tend to accelerate the build up of cholesterol and other deposits on the lining of blood vessels, accelerating their blockage. The blockage of these blood vessels is greatly accelerated by untreated high blood pressure which can damage the eyes and kidneys
