What are the long term complications of diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic, progressive, and damaging disease that lasts a lifetime. Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body produces insulin but doesn’t respond to it normally. Glucose is unable to enter the cells to supply energy, a problem called insulin resistance. Unfortunately, type 2 diabetes is no longer an old man’s disease. Over the past decades, younger adults and children have also been falling prey to this disease. Indians get type 2 diabetes not only at a younger age, but also at lower body mass index. And a younger onset often means a greater risk of complications.
