Article Synopsis
- Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious and common complication of diabetes that can lead to vision loss, particularly in younger individuals, and often goes unnoticed until significant problems arise.
- A study conducted with 359 type 1 diabetes patients in Morocco found that 30% of them had DR, with varying levels of severity based on their duration of diabetes and poor blood sugar control.
- Findings indicated that longer diabetes duration, as well as the presence of neuropathy and nephropathy, are significant risk factors for developing DR, suggesting the need for collaboration between diabetes and eye care specialists for early detection and treatment.
