Kidney failure ---> death
Permanent blindness
Higher risk for high cholestrol, high blood pressure --> heart attack ---> stroke ---> death

With Type I diabetes, (insulin dependent), without control you run the risk of kidney failure, heart attack, and stroke. Without insulin one runs the risk of blood sugars that are too high or too low. Coma is always a risk when the blood sugar is too low and heart attack and/or stroke are always a risk when the blood sugar is too high.
