Diabetic retinopathy has always been a concern for those with diabetes, research now indicates that diabetes also increases the risk for other eye conditions, including glaucoma. With this Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month, learn about top tips for healthy eyes!
As all diabetics know, keeping track of your blood sugar and A1C levels are among the most important aspects of keeping your illness in check. Your blood sugar levels affect your eye health. Frequent highs and lows, as well as wide fluctuations, are risk factors for retinopathy. So, keep your levels in your target range and check them frequently.
Regular visits are especially important for those managing diabetes. People with diabetes should be screened regularly for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, at least once a year. Catching an eye disease earlier leads to better outcomes, more successful treatment, and healthier eyes.
