Summary
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a silent diabetes complication causing irreversible vision loss. Early detection and management are crucial for preventing severe retinal damage and preserving sight.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Endocrinology
- Diabetology
Background:
- Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of blindness globally.
- It is a neuro-vascular complication of diabetes mellitus.
- DR often progresses asymptomatically in its early stages, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...
