There are two other very rare forms of diabetes — LADA (latent auto-immune diabetes of the adult) and genetically-inherited MODY (maturity onset diabetes of the young)THE EFFECTSIn order to understand the complications caused by diabetes, we need to understand one more thing about glucose metabolism and the role of insulin. Eye disease: The condition of the nerves and arteries of the eye gets progressively worse. Kidney disease: The nephrons (kidney cells) get progressively destroyed and more albumin — a protein in our body — leaks out, causing even more damage to the kidney. Diabetes is globally the leading cause of advanced kidney disease whose only treatment eventually is dialysis. I, therefore, believe that diabetes should not be classed as a disease — it is a condition that can be controlled.
