Abstract

Diabetes is a well-known common chronic disease that affects the entire body. It deteriorates the entire body slowly thus reducing the ability to perform. A blood test determines the type of diabetes a person has. Mainly there are four types of diabetes Type 1, Type 2, Gestational diabetes and Prediabetes. According to World Health Organization, 1.5 million deaths had a direct cause of death as diabetes in 2019. Moreover, 8.5% of adults of 18 years and above had diabetes in 2014 [1]. There are two main reasons for diabetes to occur. Firstly, when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Secondly, it happens when the body does not accept sugar (glucose) into the cells which are used as fuel for the body to perform. As a result, extra sugar starts building in the bloodstream. Excessive sugar in the blood for a long time can cause damage to many parts of the body. It can have several serious consequences which can damage the body’s organs and tissues. It can cause harm to the heart, kidneys, blood vessels. It damages the smaller nerves of the eye as well [1]. Whether the diabetes is poorly controlled or well-controlled it can affect the eye. 90% of the vision loss from diabetes can be prevented with early detection as per the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention. They also further reveal that about 60% of diabetes patients do not even go to the medical centers for annual or routine eye check-ups.
