Question

diabetes is the number one cause of which of the following?
a) heart disease
b) kidney disease
c) pancreatic disease
d) liver disease

Explanation:

Diabetes can lead to various complications. Over time, high blood sugar levels in diabetes can damage the blood vessels and nerves. In the case of the kidneys, this damage can be severe. Chronic kidney disease is a well - known complication of diabetes. While diabetes can increase the risk of heart disease (but it is not the number one cause in general population statistics for heart disease), pancreatic disease is more related to problems within the pancreas itself (like pancreatitis, which has different main causes in most cases), and liver disease is not typically the number one complication directly caused by diabetes.

Answer:

B. Kidney disease
