A member asked:
I have got diabetic maculopathy in both eyes, and i am scared of gong blind. can you just wake up one day blind, or is it a gradual thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gradual. Work hard to keep your blood sugar in the normal range and progression is minimized. Stay out of control and it speeds up. The same goes for kidney and nerve damage.
