Diabetes is a disabling condition that has terrible complications, including heart disease, stroke blindness, chronic kidney disease, amputation, and even death. This disease and or condition is something we see when dealing with long term disability insurance carriers in disability claims.

What about type one diabetes?

– 57% have eye problems
