RE: Diabetic Cataract

Scary blog, @nattybongo. Diabetes runs in my family. Reminds me to get not only my eyes checked, but my blood checked also. (I still haven't gone to the doctors since the last time I commented many months ago). Your blogs are valuable reminders that doctors don't make us sick, but not going may make us sicker 😇

Hello @agmoore,
It is also a pleasure to hear from you, sorry about the scare, that’s wasn’t my intention though, only trying to get my readers to comprehend the realities out there.
I’d plead that even if you are doing well with your diabtetes management you ought to go in for a check just to be sure that all is well in the eye.
Diabtetes not only make one prone to cataract formation and development but also make patients susceptible to the development of conditions such as Dry Eyes, diabetic retinopathy and even glaucoma, just to mendion a few.
I would do well to treat the pathophysiology of these over time for your benefit until then I would be looking forward to the good news of your visit to the Optometrist😊. Kindly keep me updated on that, stay safe and have a blessed weekend😉
You are so kind, @nattybongo,
I don't have diabetes (as far as I know) but my siblings do, and my father did. Given my age, it would be wise to be tested. Right now, I try to eat an anti-diabetes diet😄, but I really should find out.
Thank you for your kind words and good advice. I wish you the best luck in your practice, and with your patients.
It is a pleasure to be of help always, since you do have a family history of diabetes do get tested just to be sure, anti diabetic diet is still healthy though😂😂😂, but don’t miss out on all the great foods😅.
Thanks you too for appreciating my work, I’m truly grateful 😊, all the best Sir
