This study in this month's Archives of Ophthalmology is yet another indicating that rapid blood sugar control increases the risk of diabetic macular edema. This one particularly evaluated progression of diabetic retinopathy and macular edema in patients who underwent rapid glycemic control vs. those with uncontrolled and already controlled blood sugars, post-cataract surgery. I think this is another study that makes the case for slow, steady improvements in blood sugar levels as opposed to rapid correction of blood sugar levels.

RAPID BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL INCREASES RISK OF CSME

Thanks Kevin.
ReplyDeleteThat was really interesting, I wonder if that is the reason. It's probably worth a little bit of CSME for optimal blood sugar control quickly.
