true. Sometimes people with diabetes have to get a part of their body removed due to chronic complications.

a. True

Explanation:

     The chronic complications of diabetes mellitus are mainly due to inadequate control, time of evolution and genetic factors of the disease. Chronic microvascular complications include diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy. Chronic macrovascular complications, as its name implies, result from changes in the great vessels and cause acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. The relative risk of death due to vascular complications is three times higher in patients with diabetes than in the remaining population with cardiovascular disease, accounting for up to 80% of deaths in patients with diabetes. In these patients the risk of acute myocardial infarction is similar to that observed in people without infarction who have had a previous infarction.
