If you have a diabetic in your home, they will say this from time to time. “I have high blood sugar, blurry eyes, burning feet.” But after a while they become as comfortable as ever like us.

This problem is more common in people who have been suffering from diabetes for a long time. Even though we have been living with diabetes for a long time, we cannot control diabetes without making some good changes in our diet or lifestyle. This causes strain in the eyes.

This problem is called ‘diabetic retinopathy’ in the medical world. So you may ask if a newly diagnosed diabetic does not have eye defects.

Not at all, as some people do not have eye problems even after being diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy. Feeling a little confused? Let’s learn more about it.

early symptoms of diabetic retinopathy

 

In most of the cases, when this problem is detected early, the patient does not show any symptoms. Very rarely, only some individuals have small black dots in front of their eyes.
This may cause fogging of the eyes. Of the many people with diabetic retinopathy, only a few report these symptoms. Others are not even aware that they have eye problems.

Who gets diabetic retinopathy?

 

As the name suggests, people with diabetes can experience retinopathy, an eye problem.
Dark changes in the shape of the center of the eyes are more common in people with long-term complications of diabetes. As the eye disease progresses, fogging of the eyes may occur.

How can the symptoms be managed?

Doctors say that diabetics should pay attention to their diet if they have any problem related to the eyes.
They should manage their blood pressure as smartly as possible by controlling foods high in sugar content. Some people have sudden bleeding from the corners of their eyes.
It is caused by bursting of a blood vessel at the back of the eye that supplies blood to the eye. It can be easily cured with ‘laser therapy’. An eye doctor sometimes treats these problems by giving injections.
If the problem is serious then eye surgery can give you relief. Treatment decisions for diabetic retinopathy depend on the stage of your disease and your symptoms.

You should never ignore this early symptom of diabetes

So what is the right treatment?
Diabetic retinopathy should be detected at an early stage at least once a year in patients with diabetes

By making some changes in their lifestyle and eating habits, they have to undergo an eye test to control the problem of diabetes, but the problem of diabetic retinopathy is not so troublesome.
