Can diabetes lead to death?

Yes. Uncontrolled diabetes can kill in many different ways. High blood sugars can cause damage to arteries and veins, leading to heart disease, stroke, blood clots, and heart attack. They can also damage kidneys, leading to kidney failure, and it can cause damage to the nerves, resulting in blindness or an injury or cut that the person can't feel. If they can't feel it, they can't care for it, and it can cause a serious infection, gangrene, and possible amputation.

Hypoglycemia, or extremely low blood sugars, is sometimes caused by too much insulin used to treat high blood sugars. This is an immediate danger becuase the brain needs glucose, or blood sugar, to work properly. If a person has a hypoglycemic attack, the brain doesn't get the glucose it needs, and the person can pass out, have seizures, and if it doesn't get fixed immediately, organs will shut down, leading to death.

People with Type 1 diabetes are at risk for something called Diabetic Ketoacidosis, or DKA. In non-diabetics, the liver stores sugar for use when a person doesn't eat for awhile, such as when they're sleeping, to keep the body running until the next meal. What happens in DKA is that the liver has no more stored sugar to use, sometimes caused by too much insulin, and the body has to burn fat for energy. Too much of this can make the blood acidic, basically too poisonous for the body. In extreme cases, this can cause shock, and eventually death.

Diabetes itself doesn't kill people, complications from uncontrolled blood sugars do.

Yes it can. Directly or indirectly... You can die because of a hypoglicemia, your blood sugar levels are critically low and you don麓t receive assistance you can die.
bad controlled diabetes can kill you slowly, it damages your eyes(blindness, retinopathy), kidneys, you can develop a diabetic neuropathy, you can lose a leg(amputations), your life-quality leve decreases.

Yes. Diabetes can run your blood sugar extremely high or low, even causing coma in sever hypoglycemia. It is very important to keep blood sugar at the normal range and monitor it closely. Among other things, diabetes can also lead to loss of limbs, blindness and kidney failure.

Yes. My dad acted like diabetes was a joke, ate all the foods he shouldn't have, let his blood sugar go real high at times, which overworked his kidneys, and is now in kidney failure, which in turn has caused congestive heart failure. He will more than likely have to go on oxygen soon due to not getting enough oxygen because his circulation is bad, and is in pain from his kidneys ALL the time.

It most certainly can as if will affect the heart . This is why its important to keep your sugar as normal as possible either with diet , pills or insulin.

yes if you dont look after yourself.

my aunt died from it in 2001. so yes, very much so.
