Diabetes: A Major Trouble For Your Heart And Brain..!!!

 

Diabetes causes an increase in blood sugar level which again causes damage to small blood vessels in all our organs. This results in major organ disorders and failures. Our 2 most important organs, i.e. Heart and Brain are no exception. Diabetes results in damaging the larger blood vessels in or body which connects the heart and brain and thus results in malfunction of both. The various causes of diabetes affecting our heart and brain are listed:

 

1.Damage to blood vessels which supply oxygen to heart

2.Fats can build up on walls of the vessel

3.Nerves in the brain where white matter is present gets affected

4.Smoking

5.High cholesterol

6.High Blood Pressure

 

Now the question that arises is how Diabetes causes brain and heart disorders? Have you ever imagined what happens to the sugar if that is kept open overnight? Yes, it gets sticky. The same thing happens to our blood vessels which become hard due to the sticky sugar and results in less blood flow and results in organ malfunction and even failure. These blockages are mainly responsible for the harmful effects of diabetes on them like:

 

1.The chances of heart attack increases to a great level due to the blockages

2.It can lead to stroke

3.Can cause nerve problems which connect the brain with the body

4.Changes in thinking called vascular cognitive impairment or vascular dementia takes place in brain

5.The longer you have diabetes, the more of a chance there is of developing dementia and blood vessel damage

6. Hypoglycemia unawareness

7.It can lead to Alzheimer’s problem
