5. Diabetes
Problems with the brain can also have an impact on various bodily functions, and this includes the regulation of sugar in the blood. Some patients with ataxia will begin to struggle to create the insulin that they need. This will then mean that diabetes can develop.
Diabetes is potentially very serious so it should be addressed as soon as possible. This means that the patient will need to be mindful of what they eat all of the time. In addition, some people will also need to use insulin injections to help prevent surges in blood sugar levels. Diabetes can cause permanent damage, and it can even lead to death.
