Treating Diabetic Retinopathy

Managing your blood sugar level carefully is the first step towards Preventing Diabetic Retinopathy‬. Indulge in a ‪‎healthy diet‬ and religiously spend at least 1 and a half hour daily on physical ‪#exercises‬ like walk, aerobics or yoga. Take you medicines on time. If you smoke, quit it, as it is an additional hazard. Twice a year, go for a hemoglobin A1C test and get it checked by your doctor. Ideally, your A1C should be under 7 percent. Contact an eye doctor if sudden changes in vision‬ are observed by you, or you are facing blurred or spotty vision. The damage caused can’t be retrieved back but progress can be checked by surgeries like Focal Laser treatment, Scatter Laser treatment, Vasectomy.

If you have already lost some of your vision due to ‪‎Diabetic Retinopathy‬, then ask your doctor for low vision services and devices. This can help you greatly in maintaining your remaining vision.


Lastly, remember if you are diagnosed with ‪‎Diabetes‬, then don't panic. Just start living a better ‪‎lifestyle‬
