Frequently asked questions

What are the most common diabetes complications? +
The main complications are: nephropathy (kidney disease), retinopathy (eye damage), neuropathy (nerve damage), cardiovascular disease (heart and blood vessels) and diabetic foot disease. All are significantly reduced by maintaining good blood sugar control, blood pressure and cholesterol.
How can I prevent diabetes complications? +
Key prevention strategies: keep HbA1c below 7%, maintain blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg, control cholesterol with medication if needed, quit smoking, exercise regularly, attend all annual screening appointments, and inspect your feet daily.
How often should diabetics have a foot examination? +
Every person with diabetes should have a professional foot examination at least once a year. Daily self-inspection at home is also essential — look for cuts, blisters, redness, swelling, or changes in colour or sensation. Report any problems to your doctor within 24–48 hours.
