Is there a relationship between red eyes and diabetes?

Patient's question:

I am 41 years old and male. Recently, I was diagnosed with diabetes. I didn't expect to get diabetes at such a young age, and I feel extremely sad about it. In the past few days, I noticed that my eyes have suddenly become red. I'm worried that it might be related to my diabetes, but I'm not sure. I would like to ask you, doctor, is there a connection between red eyes and diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Red eyes and diabetes are related. Diabetes can lead to other complications at certain stages, and it also has a significant impact on the eyes. However, it cannot be fully confirmed that diabetes is the sole cause. It may also be related to insufficient rest, excessive overtime, overuse of the eyes, or improper eye usage. To confirm the cause, it is best to undergo relevant examinations to identify the specific etiology for targeted treatment.
