One of the best ways to protect your vision if you have diabetes is to control your blood glucose levels carefully. Studies found that people with diabetes who keep their blood sugar at near-normal levels cut their risk of developing eye diseases and macular edema by 75%. If you have diabetes, also pay careful attention to your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Levels above normal increase the likelihood that diabetic retinopathy will occur and that it will significantly affect your vision.
