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. Eventually, diabetes complications may be disabling or even life-threatening. In fact, prediabetes can lead to type 2 diabetes. Possible complications include: Heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease. Nerve damage (neuropathy). Nerve damage (neuropathy). Eye damage (retinopathy). Foot damage. Nerve damage in the feet or poor blood flow to the feet increases the risk of many foot complications. Skin and mouth conditions. Diabetes may leave you more prone to skin problems, including bacterial and fungal infections. Hearing impairment. Hearing problems are more common in people with diabetes. Alzheimer's disease. Type 2 diabetes may increase the risk of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease. Depression. Depression symptoms are common in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
