Does diabetic retinopathy halt its progress when you are healthy and your blood sugars and such are at normal levels?

Retinopathy is: Always a potential problem in anyone with prediabetes, diabetes or just Insulin resistance. To decrease your risk, keep as lean and active as possible, keep bp, lipids and glucose as close to normal as possible, and follow-up with your doctors on a regular basis. Exact results are impossible to predict, but prevention is a lot better than worry.

Yes: Keeping blood sugar under control will mostly help preventing retinopathy(eyes) and neuropathy(nerve) and also nephropathy(kidney).

Slows it down: Tight control of blood sugar slows down progression of diabetic retinopathy, but does not always stop it. To further slow retinopathy, keep your blood pressure under control and exercise. Try to reduce stress in your life if possible. Retinopathy can occur in prediabetes, controlled diabetes, or uncontrolled diabetes, but there is much you can do to help yourself.
