Lesson #4

Back to Diabetes Channel

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.

• What are vascular problems?
• What are nerve problems?

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