How Diabetes affects the body?
Diabetes affects the body's ability to absorb glucose, its primary fuel. If untreated it leads to starvation or coma and death through Diabetic Ketoacidosis. If treated but without adequate insulin and diet, diabetes keeps blood sugar high, leading to nerve, blood vessel and kidney damage, as well as worsening pancreatic damage which in turn makes the diabetes more severe.
