When the entire responsibility for health enhancement and risk reduction rests with the individual, independent of the health norms……….the probability for success is very small” Bellingham, 1990 Diabetic “Bullets” Potential Benefits of Preventing and Treating Diabetes Feel better Fewer symptoms Longer, healthier life Good vision Reduce the risk for complications involving eye, foot, kidney, heart, and nerve disease Basic Recommendations for Preventing and Minimizing Diabetic Eye Disease 1. In consultation with a physician knowledgeable about diabetes care, and through proper diet, exercise, and medication: A. Keep blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible B. Check and control even mild high blood pressure C. Check and improve blood lipid profile 2. Check blood sugar levels at home on a regular basis, and know HbA1c levels 3. Quit smoking 4. Have a dilated eye examination each year, more often if specifically recommended Diabetes “Team” Family Physician Optometrist Podiatrist Dentist Retinal Specialist Diabetic Educator Dietician Additional Acknowledgements Some information courtesy of your American Optometric Association
