Many members of HealthUnlocked are seen to be extremely concerned about cellular damage. Is it so alarming? (Is it not a regular event of all living organisms?)
Some of them say that it happens no sooner than the blood sugar level crosses 140 mg/dl upward.
Can some one explain what exactly is the damage, what is the extent, what is the seriousness or risk involved, is it like the ignition of an explosive - rapid & nonstop-able, how it is tested, what is the measure/unit of it and any other relevant facts?
Some others also may be interested to know/learn these details!

Mr.George,Pl.open the video link below.I am sure you will find it interesting.
Thank you for the response, but my interest is to know about cellular damage and not its after effect like blood vessels in retina, eye give way with retinal bleed sufficient to detach the vision, renal failure, gangrene of legs etc.
If your interest is at the cellular level, the Beta cells of pancreas in DM2,gets reduced in number progressively with proportionate drop in their production of insulin.
Then follows the damage by glycoselated end products on the endothelial cells of bloodvessels, making them thicker,lose elasticity and leak protein and serum lipids into their walls,laying the foundation for angiopathy, micro and macrovascular.

Shooter George you are spot on. I have a fairly reliable paper that shows that the 5 most feared diabetic outcomes like amputation of a leg, sight loss, cardiac arrest etcetera have an individual incidence probability of less than 2.5% @ average blood glucose level of 185. Wish it could be copy pasted here. It is a read only copy.
Thank you for the corroborative remark. Try whether you can take a 'screen shot' of the paper & attach to a post here. It will be a relief to patients who are scared by 'cellular damage' propaganda.
