Neuropatía diabética
Diabetic neuropathy
means nerve damage that can happen to people with diabetes, caused by high blood sugar levels over time which damages the nerves in the body, often leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet, especially in the toes; it can also affect internal organs depending on which nerves are impacted.
Nefropatía diabética
Diabetic nephropathy
kidney damage caused by diabetes, where high blood sugar levels over time harm the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, preventing them from properly filtering waste from the blood, which can eventually lead to kidney failure if not managed well; essentially, it’s a complication of diabetes that affects the kidneys due to poor blood sugar control.
Retinopatía diabética
Diabetic retinopathy
is an eye disease that occurs when high blood sugar levels from diabetes damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive part at the back of the eye), which can lead to blurry vision or even blindness if left untreated; essentially, the high sugar levels weaken the blood vessels in the retina, causing them to leak fluid and potentially grow abnormal new blood vessels, affecting sight.
Pie diabético
Diabetic foot
Cetoacidosis diabética
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Dieta baja en carbohidratos
Low-carbohydrate diet
