is diabetes 2 dangerous

Yes, Type 2 Diabetes can be dangerous if not properly managed. It is a chronic condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Over time, high blood sugar levels can lead to serious complications, including:

• Cardiovascular Disease: Increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and hypertension.
• Nerve Damage (Neuropathy): Can cause pain, tingling, or loss of sensation in the extremities.
• Kidney Damage (Nephropathy): May lead to kidney failure or the need for dialysis.
• Eye Damage (Retinopathy): Can result in vision loss or blindness.
• Foot Problems: Poor circulation and nerve damage can lead to infections and, in severe cases, amputation.

However, with proper management—such as lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring—many people with Type 2 Diabetes can live healthy lives and reduce the risk of complications.
