loss of vision leading to blindness
abnormal presence of ketone bodies in the blood and urine
glucose in urine
kidney disease due to serious diabetes
diabetic nephropathy
retinopathy
glucosuria
ketosis

Explanation:

• Retinopathy is a condition that affects the retina (the light - sensitive layer at the back of the eye) and can lead to loss of vision and potentially blindness.
• Ketosis is the abnormal presence of ketone bodies in the blood and urine. Ketone bodies are produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose.
• Glucosuria is the presence of glucose in the urine. Normally, the kidneys reabsorb glucose from the filtrate, but in conditions like diabetes, when blood glucose levels are too high, the reabsorption capacity is exceeded, and glucose spills into the urine.
• Diabetic nephropathy is a kidney disease that occurs as a complication of diabetes. High blood sugar levels over time can damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to kidney dysfunction.

Answer:

• Loss of vision leading to blindness: Retinopathy
• Abnormal presence of ketone bodies in the blood and urine: Ketosis
• Glucose in urine: Glucosuria
• Kidney disease due to serious diabetes: Diabetic nephropathy
