4. Keep an Eye out for Early Warning Signs

Like many diseases, diabetes can bring a host of complications, but they may build up so slowly that you don’t realize there’s a problem for quite a while. The danger here is that your diabetes could cause permanent damage before you recognize the severity of the situation, so it’s best to keep an eye on your most potentially problematic sites – the eyes, teeth, feet, and skin – and report any changes to your doctor.

Since diabetes can harm blood vessels around all your organs, you should also consider your heart, brain, and kidney health: take extra care to keep your blood pressure down and your blood sugar in a healthy range, which is the best way to ward off serious organ malfunction.
