Eye health is linked with blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids. Follow your treatment plan and recommended dilated eye examinations to detect changes early.
Ask your diabetes care team when and how often you need eye examinations. Timing depends on diabetes type and duration, pregnancy, and previous findings. Supplements do not replace examinations or diabetes management.
Things you can start doing
Start with practical steps.
- Bring HbA1c, blood pressure, lipid results, and eye findings together in one care plan.
- Make an appointment for regular eye exams even if you can still see clearly.
- Tell your ophthalmologist promptly about increased dark spots, distorted vision, or reduced vision.
