Question
which complication of diabetes can result in blindness?
diabetic retinopathy
prolonged acidosis
neuropathy
prolonged alkalosis
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the blood vessels in the retina. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage these blood vessels, leading to vision problems and potentially blindness. Prolonged acidosis and alkalosis are metabolic imbalances, and neuropathy affects nerves (not directly causing blindness in the context of diabetes - related blindness as directly as retinopathy).
