- TYPE 1 - is insulin dependent and usually appears in young people aged 10-16 years old
- TYPE 11 is non-insulin dependent and usually appears gradually, mainly in the over 40s
- Can lead to:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Chronic renal failure
- Retinal damage
- Nerve damage
- Microvascular damage, which may cause impotence and poor healing. Poor healing of wounds, particularly of the feet, can lead to gangrene and may result in amputation
- High blood pressure is often referred to and linked with coronary heart disease.
- - 120/80 or lower is normal blood pressure - 140/90 or higher is high blood pressure
