10 Health Conditions Often Found with Diabetes

This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. Unhealthy diets combined with lack of physical exercise and high-stress levels are known to trigger a phenomenon known as insulin resistance. The big issue of diabetes is a damage to organs. Without treatment, it worsens and causes many health issues.

10 Common Conditions That Follow Diabetes:

Heart disease Atleast 50% diabetics are suffering from the heart disease. It has some common risk. Smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, high-fat diets, and alcohol overconsumption are commonly seen in both these conditions. That also means that the measures that work to manage blood sugar levels (BSL) are equally effective in lowering the risk of heart damage. In this condition your first priority should be take care of your diabetes, and try to maintain normal blood sugar levels. So try to follow proper diet inlcuding healthy eating, low GI fruits, carbs, fiber, protein, and micronutrients like antioxidants are considered good for both the heart and BSL. Including your dialy routine exercise, meditation can help reduce stress and lower the risk of heart disease.

Joint Pain

Uncontrolled BSL can cause significant damage to the musculoskeletal system leading to compromised mobility and pain. Almost half of all adults with diabetes end up with arthritis as well. This is a result of high BSL that damages nerves and blood vessels, which goes on to erode the cartilage that cushions joints.

Muscle mass loss Everyone wants to build muscle, but it's especially important for diabetics. While walking used to be the main exercise recommended, doctors now recognize that muscle mass is crucial. Muscles burn glucose, so having more muscle helps burn more calories.

Slow-healing wounds

This is the most common symptoms of mismanaged diabetes is slow-healing wounds. Lack of sensitivity—caused by nerve damage—most often seen in the lower extremities means that cuts, blisters, and small sores can go unnoticed, becoming a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. This leads to open wounds, which the body is unable to quickly fight off owing to its compromised immunity, due to high BSL.

5.Hypertension (High BP)- Like diabetes, hypertension does not noticed easily. Many diabetics also have high blood pressure, often due to insulin resistance. Regularly check your blood pressure; if it's over 120/80, you may be at risk for hypertension. One of the primary causes of diabetic hypertension is plaque build-up on arterial walls, which is caused by high LDL cholesterol (aka, “bad” cholesterol). Losing weight is the first step in reducing risk and preventing complications. And this means, switching to a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, managing stress, stopping smoking, and reducing alcohol consumption.

Help the Said Family - ONLY 2% FUNDED 🇵🇸🐱🍉

My name is Eslam, and I am a 16-year-old from Gaza. I am reaching out to you during a time of profound hardship, as my family and I are currently displaced in Khan Yunis due to the ongoing conflict. The violence has upended our lives, making it nearly impossible for me to continue my high school education and leaving us struggling to find a sense of normalcy.


This is my brother Mohammed, a renewable energy engineer who graduated just days before the war started. He dreams of continuing his education with a master's degree in Malaysia. My other brother, Ahmed, is in his final year studying information technology, but the war has interrupted his studies. He hopes to leave the country to finish his education abroad.

My sister, Insam, also a renewable energy engineer, lost her job because of the war and now wants to move abroad to find new opportunities and rebuild her life.

My father suffers from chronic diabetes, and we can’t find the necessary medication for him, which makes me fear losing him at any moment. My mother has high blood pressure, and we struggle to provide her with the medicine she needs. She also requires a blood pressure monitor, but we have no money to buy one. On top of that, we’re dealing with skin conditions caused by poor hygiene and malnutrition.

In the midst of this chaos, we encountered Peace, a brave cat who has become a symbol of hope for our family. We rescued her from a displacement camp after she emerged from the rubble of her former home, where her owners tragically lost their lives. Adopting Peace was not just an act of kindness; it was a step toward healing for both her and us.


However, Peace is suffering from severe psychological trauma. The sounds of war have left her frightened and anxious, and she needs regular veterinary care to help her cope. Unfortunately, obtaining such care is increasingly challenging in our current situation. The local veterinary clinics are overwhelmed, and the cost of supplies for her care has skyrocketed, making it difficult for us to provide the essentials she requires.


We also face difficulties in ensuring that Peace has enough nutritious food and litter. The ongoing conflict has led to soaring prices for basic necessities, leaving families like ours struggling to make ends meet. Every day is a challenge, and while we do our best to care for her, our limited resources often make it feel impossible. It breaks my heart to see her suffer, and I often wonder what more we could do to help her heal.

Despite these challenges, Peace has shown incredible resilience. When we first brought her home, she was terrified and hesitant. It took time for her to trust us, but slowly, she began to find comfort in our presence. There were moments when she would curl up beside me, purring softly, and for those brief instances, the weight of the world felt a little lighter.

We are reaching out to you for support to ensure that Peace receives the care she so desperately needs. Your contributions can help us provide her with the medical attention required to address her trauma, as well as the food and supplies essential for her well-being.
Imagine a life for Peace where she can roam freely, play, and feel secure. Your kindness can make this possible. Supporting her means standing with us in our struggle and recognizing that love and compassion can flourish even amid devastation.
Every act of kindness counts. Your support, no matter how small, can create ripples of change. We understand that many of you may be facing your own struggles, but sharing our story can help raise awareness and garner support for Peace and our family.

As of 12/12/24, they are only at $1020 of their goal of $54.5k USD

This is only 2%‼️

I am sharing this on behalf of my dear friend Eslam, she needs to replace her phone urgently. You can follow her on instagram, X and find out more from the linktree above

Statistics don't lie It just blows my mind that people can't see or understand that COVID is a dangerous virus that can damage your body. Getting infected multiple times will have serious consequences for many.

today sucked the life out of me ya Allah

[ghostoftheyear]

Hey, what's up everyone. I've been in the hospital for two days with hypertension, woo hoo. Apparently my BP was so high I could have had a stroke. (When they were checking my eyes, the person was like "YOU DROVE HERE?!")

Explains why I was so lightheaded in the morning, I guess...

Anyway the important thing is I'm home, I'm loaded up with meds, and the cats did not die. Though they did eat every single piece of dry food available, and Aidan has been screaming at me for dinner since I got home even though I fed him right away.

Now I get to be overwhelmed by all this shit I have to take now.
