Patient's question:
I have had diabetes for 4-5 years. During this period, the control has been relatively good, but recently I feel that complications have reappeared. My eyesight has severely worsened, and after a thorough examination, it was found to be due to retinal. Hello diabetes, retinal, the fundus shows abnormality, how to stabilize?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic retinopathy, as a chronic complication of diabetes, should first be treated by strictly controlling blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure. Aim to keep fasting blood glucose around 6.0 millimoles per liter and post-meal blood glucose between 6.0 to 8.0 millimoles per liter. This will help slow the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, oral calcium dobesilate can be taken.
