TITLE:  Ten Things Every Doctor of Optometry Should Know About Diabetes

ABSTRACT: Every optometrist knows that diabetes has reached epidemic levels throughout the US and that diabetic retinopathy poses substantial risk of vision loss for those affected by the disease. We know, because we see these patients on a daily basis, because many if not most of these patients have poor understanding of their disease as well as suboptimal blood glucose control, because we witness all too frequently the bad outcomes associated with diabetes – amputation, renal disease, vision loss, coronary artery disease and stroke, to name a few of the most serious endpoints resulting from poor self care and/or inadequate treatment.
