 Reversing complications
Being able to reverse complications is considered to be something of a holy grail.
Research has found that animals have been able to reverse complications of diabetes and there
has been anecdotal evidence of improvements in humans.
 Reversing diabetes complications
Whilst evidence for the reversal of complications is thin on the ground, there are steps that can be taken to avoid or slow down the development of diabetic complications.
There are a number of factors which have been shown to reduce the risk of complications and this includes keeping blood glucose levels under tight control.
Avoiding diabetic complications
We're keen to find out whether anyone has had success in reversing their complications.
If your complications have actually improved, let the Diabetes Forum know!

Brittle diabetes
 People with hard to control type 1 diabetes may have what is referred to as brittle diabetes mellitus, or labile diabetes, which can cause extreme fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
This rare but serious sub-type of type 1 diabetes is
linked to stress and depression. Identifying and treating these psychological issues can help combat this condition and improve blood sugar control.

 Having diabetes makes you much more prone to skin problems, which left untreated can evolve into serious complications, such as diabetic foot ulcers.
These problems can be hard to spot due to the effects prolonged high blood sugar levels have on
the nerves and circulation.
