Hi .
Back again with a pile of some weird stuff. Diabetes .did you know? Shit I didn't .
Diabetes. The name is enough. Everybody knows what it is . How to control it.
I have a dozen blood relations suffering from diabetes mellitus.
Every time they see a doctor , he tells them that the *sugar* has gone high . They give him a *sweet smile* ( Due to hyperglycaemia , I believe) stating , oh doctor , you know how it is ... I just can't refrain from rice , I have eaten it twice everyday throughout my life . Changing habits is difficult. (So is changing diapers, but people do!)
They don't realise and mostly don't know what diabetes can cause . Harmful they know . But how much? The doctors thus don't take enough time to explain. Who cares? There are millions with the same disease .
Honestly , I knew about generalised lesions diabetes can cause like candidiasis et al but ocular lesions in specific is what I never knew.
So did you? If you did , the blog ends here. The rest , I know you have a dear one suffering, yet gulping that ice cream.
Here they are:
Changes in refraction :
Hypermetropia ( in hypoglycaemia)
myopic shift ( in hyperglycaemia)
Decreased accommodation
Eyelids :

Conjunctiva :

Sub conjunctival haemorrhage
Cornea :

-Corneal sensations are decreased due to trigeminal neuropathy

Retina :

This is tiring
Good night people!
