Diabetes, like anything that affects the body’s functioning, can come with complications. These can be divided usefully into acute (short term) and chronic (long term) complications. Diabetes needs regular monitoring by the patients and the doctors and nurses who care for them because of these complication risks.
Short Term Complications
These are caused mainly by imbalance of the sugar level. If sugar is too high this leads to hyperglycemia which if left untreated can lead to a coma or even death, although death is very rare especially in people with diabetes who are not dependant on insulin. Hyperglycemia is very serious and usually can be seen if a diabetic’s blood sugar level is more than 20, or they feel unwell. It is also associated with ketones in the urine.

Asthma is a condition that affects many people, children and adults alike. Many people have heard of exercise induced asthma, which occurs during physical activity, but there is also allergic asthma as a chronic condition too.
What Is Allergic Asthma?
Asthma itself is a disease that occurs in the lungs and airways. When a person is having an asthma attack their airways become constricted, limiting the air flow. The lungs work harder to try and produce more air for the body, but it is unable to be processed through the airways.
