In this brief educational segment, Dr. Jaiwant Rangi explains that high blood glucose levels cause silent, asymptomatic damage to vital organs—particularly the kidneys, blood vessels, and nerves—early in the course of diabetes. He emphasizes that patients often feel fine while internal tissue injury progresses unnoticed. The speaker stresses that controlling blood sugar promptly after diagnosis markedly reduces the likelihood of long‑term vascular and tissue complications, underscoring the need for early, aggressive glucose management and patient awareness of these hidden risks.

You know, because a lot of the damage that happens happens earlier on silently, and we don't feel any symptoms, and the patients need to understand that. That is when silently your kidneys are getting affected, your blood vessels are getting affected, your nerves are getting affected, and patients may feel fine, but inside the body, the high glucose is slowly affecting tissues and the blood vessels. And when the blood sugar is controlled early, that damage is much less likely to happen compared to if you let go of uncontrolled diabetes in the beginning of the diagnosis. Marslanders.
