What are the risks of being diabetic?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Over time, diabetes melitus can cause the vessels to become narrow and clogged. Without enough blood, the kidneys become damaged and albumin (a type of protein) passes through these filters and ends up in the urine leading to detection of protein and sugar in the urine sample.

Dr. Ezhilarasan Suggests...

Take a Antaryog Foundation Health Check Test or Take a HIV DUO (ANTIGEN AND ANTIBODY) Test
