The leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide is diabetes mellitus. And in United States, that is the most common cause of blindness in people younger than 65 years.
Moreover, it is not only causing actual blindness, but also a wide range of other diabetic eye disease complications that can cause you problems.
Diabetes mellitus may cause:
* reversible, temporary blurring of the vision
* can cause a severe, permanent vision lost….
* increased risk to develop cataracts and glaucoma
Many people don’t realize they have had diabetes for years until they start to experience complications like eye problems.
The eye disease is mostly developed in people who have had a not so good control of their blood sugar for a long time.
Diabetes mellitus may also result in heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and circulatory abnormalities of the legs.

The ophthalmologist explained that sometimes “they just reabsorb” and attributed the good news to good diabetes control. My endo said “congrats.” I’m elated. Not finding much on spontaneous cure, but until now, I thought the best news I could get was “no change.
I have proliferative retinopathy and have had quite extensive laser treatment for it. All ok at the moment but have a check up appointment on Thursday to see if anything has changed.
“My 11 year old daughter was only dx with type 1 in March but we believe she had D for at least a year before. Her optician dx her because of the sight problems she was experiencing. D has given her a type of cataract (dont know the exact name) and also made her slightly short sighted. The specialist says both of these may improve with control of … See moreover bs but if not she will have laser surgery :0(
My dad had type 2 and developed several sight problems and eventually lost most of the sight in one eye and the other varied with his bs levels.
I think this is why I find my daughters problems even more worrying as I’ve ‘seen’ it all before. To loose your sight is a terrible thing.”
