Diabetes patients are at higher risk of injury
Manage episode 433346937 series 5409
People with diabetes who are treated with insulin have more than a 60 per cent increased risk of serious injury.
Low blood sugar can lead to falls, while high blood sugar can lead to nerve damage, which leaves people susceptible to numbness and burns.
Experts believe there is a lack of awareness about the risk of trauma when blood sugars aren’t well managed.
