For a diabetic, many things can start occurring and often times more than others without warning. For instance in over half of diabetics at some time or another they will develop diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain due to diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

When a diabetic first learns that they have diabetes it can be very detrimental to them and their family because often times it is a disease that they will have to live with for the rest of their life. Diabetics go through so much such as edema in the feet, hands, fingers and toes, are more prone to infections because their immune system is compromised, peripheral vision impairment due to their muscles and tendons stopping from working like they should. Diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain can be very difficult to deal with because in so many it is as close to becoming blind as you can get without being declared a total blind which many if left untreated or diagnosed will end up being.

When a diabetic is diagnosed as having diabetes the body has to start working harder which causes all kinds of problems. The kidneys have to start working twice as hard to either absorb all of the insulin being produced in order to keep everything intact and smooth working order or they have to work harder in order to make insulin. The veins and arteries tend to get a strain placed on them in which they can stress and overwork causing strokes or heart attacks and many other features as well.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain occurs when the diabetic or person is having trouble seeing, using their muscles and limbs and is in just a great amount of pain from overworking them. The main thing to remember with all diabetics is how to properly maintain your diabetes in order to keep this condition managed and your health taken care of.

When you are diabetic or have any type of medical history or family history you need to keep careful tabs on your blood pressure and cholesterol levels as well as your blood glucose levels so that none of them get elevated.

Elevated blood glucose, elevated blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels all gone unchecked or untreated can cause many major medical problems such as organ and system failure, heart attacks, stroke and even death.

Being a diabetic and having elevated blood glucose levels are only the beginning of a world wind of events that can occur being a diabetic. Elevated blood pressure can lead to strokes or heart attacks caused by restricted blood vessels and elevated cholesterol levels can lead to stroke, lightheaded, fainting and death if not treated or taken care of when first caught. Many people take elevated blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and elevated blood glucose levels lightly and normally end up finding out the hard way or dealing with near death experiences before they realize how serious elevated blood glucose levels and elevated blood pressure can be.
