Fifty six diabetic patients aged 25-74 were under ophthalmological control in the period 1984-87. The mean time of duration of diabetes amounted 14 years. In 29 persons diabetes was insulinodependent and in the remaining insulino-independent. In 11 eyes the fundus exhibited diabetic changes with characteristics of angiopathy, in 43 eyes--of exudative retinopathy and in 58 eyes of proliferative retinopathy. Photocoagulation with a xenon-arc lamp of the diabetic changes was performed in all the patients. In dependence of the extent of the changes one used either a focused or a panretinal photocoagulation. In the majority of cases one could stop the progress of the diabetic changes on the fundus and preserve a fair visual acuity.

Patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers may require hospitalization and face an increased risk of amputation, which can significantly impact their quality of life. One potential solution is exercise, which can regulate blood glucose levels, improve wound healing, and enhance overall well-being. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the impact of a lower limb resistance training program combined with breathing-regulation techniques on glycemic control, wound healing, and quality of life in patients with diabetes-related foot ulcers.

Of the roughly 38 million people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the United States, up to 34% will develop a diabetic foot ulcer at some point, up to 75% of those who develop an ulcer will experience recurrent ulcers, and approximately 18% of patients with a diabetic foot ulcer will undergo lower-limb amputation. The aim of this study was to determine whether depressive symptoms change after a minor, nontraumatic amputation. We conducted a multimethod study consisting of semi-structured interviews (n = 12) and a retrospective cohort (n = 20) of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent a nontraumatic, minor amputation of a single toe (partial or total) or partial ray resection.
