Diabetes Mellitus High blood glucose levels due to the body’s inability toproduce and/or use insulin Type 1: Usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Thebody does not produce insulin. Type 2: Either the body does not produce enough insulin orthe cells ignore the insulin. Most common form.DIABETIC EYE DISEASE AFFECTSBOTH!!!

Diabetic Retinopathy Symptoms Blurred vision Floaters Fluctuating Vision Distorted visionFigure 3: Normal Vision Dark areas in vision Poor night vision Impaired color vision Partial or total loss of visionhttps://nei.nih.gov/./Ojo DiabetesandHealthyEyesFlipchartPPT.Figure 4: How vision maybe affected by diabetic retinopathy
What is the Retina? A multilayered, light-sensitive tissue lining the inner eye. Light focuses on retina and is then transmitted to brainvia optic nerve Macula: part of retina responsible for central vision
Retinal Anatomy
Diabetic Retinopathy Dysfunction of the retinal blood vessels as a result ofchronic hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) Can be a complication of Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes Starts off asymptomatic, and if left untreated, can lead tolow vision or blindness.
PathophysiologyHigh blood sugar levels affect retinal capillaries Pericyte Loss Endothelial Cellloss Blood-retinabarrierbreakdown
Pathophysiology - Capillary Leakage Damaged capillariesleak Leakage into themacula results in visionloss

Blurred vision Floaters Fluctuating Vision Distorted vision Dark areas in vision Poor night vision . Macula is responsible for central vision Fluid at macula leads to blurry vision Leading cause of legal blindness in diabetics Can be present at any stage of the disease .
The number of people with diabetes in the UK has more than doubled over the past two decades,1 with 3.8 million ( 6%) of the population currently diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetic eye disease (comprising diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular oedema) is a microvascular complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The development of severe vision loss due to diabetic eye disease can be reduced by an estimated 50% to 60% through scatter laser therapy.1 o Laser therapy works best in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy o Annual dilated eye exams allow eye care professionals to detect diabetic retinopathy in the earlier stages11

Diabetic Diet Diabetic Diet for diabetics is simply a balanced healthy diet which is vital for diabetic treatment. The regulation of blood sugar in the non-diabetic is automatic, adjusting to whatever foods are eaten. But, for the diabetic, extra caution is needed to balance food intake with exercise, insulin injections and any other glucose .
Non-diabetic hyperglycaemia, also known as pre-diabetes or impaired glucose regulation, refers to raised blood glucose levels, but not in the diabetic range. People with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia are at increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.1,2 They are also at increased risk of other cardiovascular conditions.3
