Diabetic Retinopathy
The Intricate Relationship Between Diabetes and Eye Health
Approximately 25.8 million people in the United States live with some form of diabetes. This serious metabolic disease is characterized by high blood sugar, and results from poorly regulated insulin production or impaired insulin response. It can have serious implications for numerous systems within the body, including the eyes. Early detection and treatment is the best defense against diabetic retinopathy.
