A member asked:
If it's difficult to control my blood sugar, could i have a diabetes complication?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Possible: If blood sugars are not controlled and are high you have diabetes. Complications usually come from uncontrolled diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes does not usually come from complications. If your blood sugars are out of control it is a problem and you should seek help right away!
