What Causes Diabetes Complications

Here comes the heavy stuff — the complications of diabetes. Much of what you are about to read isn't all that appetizing. But plugging your way through this lesson could make managing your care a bit easier to stomach.

So, get ready to learn:

  • What is hyperglycemia?
  • What are vascular problems?
  • What are nerve problems?

But before we start inundating you with information, let’s see what you already know.

Assignment #1
This quiz asks the 101 questions. Don't worry if you don't know the answers, we'll go over them soon.

All done? How’d you do? Oh yeah? Neat.

Well, without further ado . . .
