Preventing Complications

One of the risk factors for developing diabetic eye disease is simply the length of time that an individual has had diabetes. ThatÕs not really something you can control because you got diagnose when you got diagnosed Ð itÕs in the past. But thereÕs still a lot you can do: the blood sugar level being nicely controlled will afford you a much better prognosis. Also, thereÕs a correlation with regards to blood pressure: people with diabetes who might also have blood pressure issues will do much better if not just their blood sugar is controlled but also their blood pressure. A nice diet and exercise regimen and following up with some diligence with your primary care doctor will help people with diabetes try to avoid diabetic eye disease.
