8. Heart Attacks and Stroke
Heart attacks and strokes are possible long-term complications of diabetes, especially when it is not properly managed. These life-threatening conditions develop because fatty material builds up and blocks major arteries that supply blood to the heart and brain. The walls of the small blood vessels are also damaged and therefore the normal transfer of the oxygen to the tissues is impaired.
