Question:
I have one diabetic complication and feel like lots more will follow. Does having one complication mean I will develop others?

问：我已经有了一种并发症，好像感觉别的并发症也要发生了。有了一个并发症后是意味着别的并发症也不远了吗？

Answer:
Not necessarily. It is true that higher blood glucose levels make all complications more likely, so if high glucose levels have led to one complication, they may very well lead to others. But everyone is different, and some people may develop one severe complication but have no sign of another. But since you know you run the risk of additional complications, use this knowledge to your advantage. Let it motivate you to keep your blood glucose levels in a healthy range, to lower your chances of getting another complication. Not only that, but getting your glucose levels down is one of the best ways to keep the complication you already have from getting worse. Doing your best to stay healthy is hard because it takes so much time and effort. Keeping in mind why you try so hard can help maintain your motivation. Some people say that getting a complication made them see their lives with diabetes differently; the complication was both a blow and a wake-up call. It hurts and it makes them take a hard look at how they were managing their diabetes. Talk to your health care provider about things you can do to increase your chances of living the rest of your life with no more complications.
