| Vascular damage. To the linings of your blood vessels.
My hospital endo gave me one really good visual ... "Imagine giving your kids shards of glass and rusty nails, and letting them run through your house, scraping them along the walls. THAT is the damage from high blood sugar, to your arteries."
I did not like him or his recommendations, but man that sticks with me!
