The optimal eating plan for people with diabetes has two goals: controlling blood sugar and protecting the heart. Building a menu with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, healthy proteins and unsaturated fats will help people with type 2 diabetes have a good meal and avoid diabetic heart disease.

One of the common complications of diabetes is retinopathy. In addition to good blood sugar control, people with retinopathy need to be examined and treated early to avoid serious eye complications.

Thoroughly understanding the risks and stages of diabetic retinopathy will help you choose the right treatment for yourself before it causes more serious complications.
