As the disease progresses, you may notice cloudiness of vision and blind spots. Everybody with diabetes, both type 1 & 2- is at risk of diabetic retinopathy. The longer a patient has had diabetes, the higher is the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy.
People with untreated diabetes are said to be 25 times ore at risk for blindness than the general population. Diet and exercise play an important role for maintaining a overall health of Diabetics. Researches show that diabetic patients who are able to control appropriate blood sugar levels have fewer eye problems than those with poor control. Taking prescribed medicine as per instruction, controlling high blood pressure and avoiding alcohol and smoking can help to prevent diabetic retinopathy. Diabetics can also greatly reduce the possibility of eye complications by scheduling routine examinations with an ophthalmologist. Early treatments are necessary because once damage has occurred, the effects are permanent.
Homeopathy lowers the risk factors of diabetic problems like diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy. Homeopathy is both effective and safe, and it does not have any side effects like hypoglycemia that can lead to cardiovascular failure. Homeopathy can also be used for those Diabetics already on anti-diabetic medicines.
