No. Type 2 diabetes does not always progress to diabetic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, or diabetic neuropathy. These are long-term complications that develop mainly due to prolonged poor glycemic control, hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, genetic susceptibility, and longer duration of diabetes. Many patients who maintain good blood sugar control (target HbA1c as appropriate), healthy lifestyle habits, regular exercise, blood pressure control, and routine follow-up may never develop these complications or may develop them much later in life.

Not necessarily. But we have to work on the diabetes to prevent these long term complications.
Complications develop over years of uncontrolled sugars and negelcted lifestyle.
They show only once they have symptoms but work starts much earlier so efforts should be made from the time of diagnosis.
Depends on following factors
1. Good and persistent sugar control
2. Control of HTN and other comorbidities
3. Regular Medication
4. Regular checkups including
HbA1cC every 3 months, Urine Routine microscopy and UPCR every 3 months,
Retina checkup yearly.
5. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and doing strength training to maintain kuscle mass so your diabetes does not worsen
