How deadly is diabetes?
Diabetes is a serious and potentially deadly disease.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), diabetes is the direct cause of over 1.5 million deaths per year, and it is a major risk factor for other diseases such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure.
In 2019, diabetes was the ninth leading cause of death globally, with an estimated 1.5 million deaths directly attributed to the disease.
However, the number of deaths attributable to diabetes is likely much higher, as it is often underreported as a cause of death.
In addition to the direct effects of diabetes, the disease can also lead to various complications that can be life-threatening.
These complications include heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, nerve damage, and vision loss.
People with diabetes are also at a higher risk of developing infections and experiencing slower wound healing, which can lead to severe complications and even death.
It is important to note that with proper management and treatment, the risks associated with diabetes can be significantly reduced.
This includes maintaining good blood sugar control, regular check-ups, and managing other risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
By managing diabetes effectively, individuals can reduce their risk of developing complications and improve their overall health outcomes.
