There is no claim that type 2 diabetes is more serious than other types, nor can we simply say whether type 2 diabetes is serious, but rather whether complications occur and how serious they are. But on its own, it makes a big difference whether it is well controlled or not.
Since there is no cure for diabetes, good long-term control is an important guarantee of healthy survival in all aspects. If one can actively work to control the blood sugar and complications of diabetes in all aspects, it can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, especially in reducing the occurrence and development of various complications, which is beneficial in the long run. If you worry too much or ignore it, it may lead to various complications and cause greater psychological and physical burdens, and the longer it takes, the greater the harm. In addition, diabetes may cause diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic vascular or neurological complications a series of complications that can greatly reduce the quality of life of patients and even threaten their lives.
Therefore, although type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease, its complications may be more serious and therefore require active treatment to slow down the development of complications.
