A phacoemulsification procedure, combined with an "in-the-bag" lens implantation, was performed on ten eyes that once had proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). The ten eyes were in eight patients who had a 20-plus year history of either type I or type II diabetes mellitus. All eyes had reached the "quiescent" state of diabetic retinopathy 2-13 years before the cataract surgery through either argon laser pan retinal photocoagulation and/or pars plana vitrectomy. Nine of ten eyes remained completely free of retinal neovascularization and rubeosis iridis, with follow-up periods between 1.5 and 5 years. One eye has been lost to recurrent vitreous hemorrhages and an inoperable retinal detachment.

Objective: To explore the differential gene expression in peripheral blood immune cells of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), comparing those with and without non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).
Methods: From a pool of 126 potential participants, 60 were selected for detailed analysis. This group included 12 healthy donors (HDs), 22 individuals with DM, and 26 with NPDR.

The growing global prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM), along with its associated complications, continues to rise. When clinically detected most DM complications are irreversible. It is therefore crucial to detect and address these complications early and systematically in order to improve patient care and outcomes.

Type 2 Diabetes is a highly prevalent chronic disorder that affects multiple systems through microvascular complications. Complications such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic vestibular dysfunction (vestibulopathy) all directly interfere with the sensory components of balance and postural stability. The resulting impairments cause increased falls risk and instability, making it difficult to perform daily task or exercise.

Introduction: In this study, we assessed whether the ratio of glucose management index (GMI) to glycated albumin (GA) was linked to microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who also possessed a shortened erythrocyte lifespan.
Methods: This study encompassed individuals from the Tianjin Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Cohort who completed continuous glucose monitoring and had an erythrocyte lifespan of under 90 days. Differences in GMI/GA were compared between the T2DM patients with or without microvascular complications, including diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR).
