- 2. LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Recognize the importance of diabetic retinopathy as a public health problem • Discuss diabetic retinopathy as a leading cause of blindness in developed countries • Identify the risk factors for diabetic retinopathy • Describe and distinguish between the stages of diabetic retinopathy • Understand the role of risk factor control and annual dilated eye exams in the prevention of vision loss
- 3. DIABETES MELLITUS Diabetes Mellitus is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels. Diabetes results from defects in the body's ability to produce and/or use insulin. • Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. 5% of people with diabetes have this form of the disease. • In Type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. This is the most common form of diabetes. http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/?loc=GlobalNavDB
- 4. DIABETIC RETINOPATHY (DR) DEFINITION • Progressive dysfunction of the retinal blood vessels caused by chronic hyperglycemia. • DR can be a complication of diabetes type 1 or diabetes type 2. • Initially, DR is asymptomatic, if not treated though it can cause low vision and blindness. http://www.mdconsult.com/das/book/pdf/282715756-3/978-0-323-04332-8/4-u1.0-B978-0-323-04332-8..00092-5..DOCPDF.pdf?isbn=978-0-323-04332-8&eid=4-u1.0-B978-0-323-04332-8..00092-5..DOCPDF
- 5. WHAT IS THE RETINA? • The retina is a multilayered, light sensitive neural tissue lining the inner eye ball. Light is focused onto the retina and then transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve. • The macula is a highly sensitive area in the center of the retina, responsible for central vision. The macula is needed for reading, recognizing faces and executing other activities that require fine, sharp vision.

- 8. DIABETIC RETINOPATHY EPIDEMIOLOGY • The total number of people with diabetes is projected to rise from 285 million in 2010 to 439 million in 2030. • Diabetic retinopathy is responsible for 1.8 million of the 37 million cases of blindness throughout the world . • Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in people of working age in industrialized countries. http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/82/11/en/844.pdf http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19896746

- 10. DIABETIC RETINOPATHY EPIDEMIOLOGY • The best predictor of diabetic retinopathy is the duration of the disease • After 20 years of diabetes, nearly 99% of patients with type 1 diabetes and 60% with type 2 have some degree on diabetic retinopathy • 33% of patients with diabetes have signs of diabetic retinopathy • People with diabetes are 25 times more likely to become blind than the general population.

The Effect of Intensive Diabetes Treatment On the Progression of Diabetic Retinopathy In Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Research Group Intensive control reduced the risk of developing retinopathy by 76% and slowed progression of retinopathy by 54%; intensive control also reduced the risk of clinical neuropathy by 60% and albuminuria by 54%.

- 38. Why is Diabetic macular edema so important? • The macula is responsible for central vision. • Diabetic macular edema may be asymptomatic at first. As the edema moves in to the fovea (the center of the macula) the patient will notice blurry central vision. The ability to read and recognize faces will be compromised. Macula Fovea
- 40. CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANT MACULAR EDEMA (CSME) • Thickening of the retina at or within 500 µm of the center of the macula. • Hard exudates at or within 500 µm of the center of the macula, if associated with thickening of the adjacent retina. • Area of retinal thickening 1 disc area or larger, within 1 disc diameter of the center of the macula.

- #16: Knowing that worse sugar control is associated with worse retinopathy is not quite the same as knowing that good sugar control can alter the natural history of retinal disease. And so the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Research Group set out to answer this question prospectively. They looked at over 700 diabetic pts with no retinopathy and over 700 pts with mild to moderate retinopathy and treated some with conventional therapy bid shots and some with intensive control qid shots or a pump and found that intensive control reduced risk of developing retinoapthy by 75% and reduced the risk of progression by 54% and that neuropathy and nephropathy were reduced as well. Risk factor control is key.
