What problems can diabetes cause?

Long-term complications of diabetes develop gradually. They are far more common in people who don't have well-controlled blood glucose (sugar) levels. Complications also tend to be worse if you have other health issues, such as high cholesterol, obesity or high blood pressure, and if you smoke.
