People say that diabetes causes slow death, which means it hurts the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart. Sometimes, it can also make cancer grow in the body. If it is not treated, it becomes very hard to control and can get worse. People try to keep blood sugar levels normal by doing different things such as eating less, avoiding sugar, working out regularly, and stopping smoking and drinking alcohol. People with diabetes have to take medicine for their whole life to keep their blood sugar levels normal. But, they are not lasting solutions.
