How does diabetes affect circulatory system?

With my father having diabetes, I'm trying to learn more about the long-term complications. I've heard it can really impact blood circulation, so I want to know exactly how it affects the circulatory system over time.

Haan, high sugar slowly damages your blood vessels, which makes them stiff and narrow. Phir blood pressure also rises and circulation in your feet becomes poor, na. Isliye strictly control rakhna zaroori hai.

I am new to reading about diabetes as my mother was just diagnosed. Does this poor blood circulation also cause the numbness and cold feeling she gets in her feet? I want to learn how to help her manage it safely.

High sugar makes the blood vessels less elastic and slows down your overall blood flow. If your doctor allows, daily brisk walking for 30-40 minutes is amazing for keeping your circulation active and blood vessels healthy.

It basically blocks the smooth flow of blood, which can lead to heart issues later. Simple things like avoiding fried foods, checking your feet daily for cuts, and taking your regular sugar pills can keep these major problems away.

Think of it this way: excess glucose makes your blood vessels sticky and plaque builds up faster. This restricts proper oxygen flow to your heart and limbs. Keep checking your HbA1c and lipid levels regularly to monitor this.
