It depends on how compliant the diabetic is with their diet, medication, and dr visits.
They may or one may occur without the other. no telling
Both are caused by poor circulation secondary to chronic high blood sugar levels. See Michael Murray’s book “How to Prevent and Treat Diabetes with Natural Medicine” for some really good info and advice on how to prevent both these serious medical complications of diabetes. Good luck!
Their both terrible results from diabetes, and yes…they can happen within a short time of each other, but not often, because every one is different in how disease effects them
Because the blood vessels to the eye are so much smaller, retinopathy may occur sooner. If you understand what retinopathy is and how it happens, you’ll also understand immediately what I’m saying.
The two don’t necessarily follow each other. Before renal disease occurs, there could be hypertensive CVA or cardiac disease. There’s no timetable or schedule. If one occurs within a short time of the other, it’s just an unfortunate coincidence.
yes
