Summary
Semaglutide treatment led to the regression of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and improved diabetic macular oedema (DMO) in a patient with type 2 diabetes. This suggests semaglutide may have an independent role in managing PDR.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Endocrinology
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss in patients with diabetes.
- Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is an advanced stage characterized by neovascularization.
- Effective management of DR requires tight glycemic control and regular monitoring.
