Problem & solution
Understanding type 2 diabetes, stage by stage
How diabetes can affect the body, how it develops, and where Cogent Diabetes+ is designed to help. General information, to read alongside your doctor’s advice.
Diabetes affects far more than blood sugar.
Type 2 diabetes is more than a number on a meter. It weakens the body’s response to insulin and disrupts blood sugar control, and over time it can affect the organs.
Not everyone develops every complication. Your doctor can tell you what applies to you.
Heart
Over time, high blood sugar damages blood vessels, raising the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Kidneys
The kidneys’ small filters can be damaged, a condition known as diabetic kidney disease.
Liver
Diabetes and insulin resistance are closely linked with fat building up in the liver.
Pancreas
The cells that make insulin work harder to keep up, and can wear down over time.
Eyes
Damage to the small vessels at the back of the eye, diabetic retinopathy, can affect sight.
Organ descriptions are general information about diabetes complications. Speak with your doctor about your own health.
