how can a person avoid developing diabetic retinopathy?
There is no way to guarantee avoidance of diabetic retinopathy...however maintaining careful, optimal control of blood sugar and blood pressure help reduce the risks. Regular eye examinations with dilatation of the pupils are also essential. Timely treatment with laser can usually prevent serious problems before they happen.
