Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for 5 years. I pay close attention to regulation in daily life and often take medication to control it. Recently, I developed second-order neuron diabetic eye disease. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes. This disease is divided into early and late stages. If the diabetes history is about five years, it is often based on early inflammation. In this case, it generally does not interfere with vision and is primarily characterized by the formation of retinal microaneurysms. Many drugs that stabilize retinal microcirculation can be taken to control the condition and alleviate symptoms, while strictly controlling blood sugar levels.
