The damage will be high if the blood sugar is high. Smoking and alcohol will increase the risk manifold.

Reduced blood flow to nerves combined with high blood sugar will result in nerve pain, burning, numbness.

The complications of High Blood Sugar can be kept under control by keeping the Blood Sugar level under control.
