After a long duration of metabolic derangement, specific complications of diabetes (retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy) may occur. Arteriosclerosis is also accelerated in the presence of diabetes. Depending on the severity of metabolic abnormality, diabetes may be asymptomatic, may present with characteristic symptoms such as thirst, polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, or it may progress to ketoacidosis and coma.
