REVEALED: #1 Trigger for Diabetic Eye Disease

Having diabetes isn’t just about monitoring and controlling your blood sugar.  

This disease comes with a host of medical issues – like nerve damage, kidney issues, and hearing loss – that can make your life even harder.  

But there’s more to worry about…  

Research shows that a certain diabetes-related condition could trigger life-changing eye disease.  

And you could be dealing with it RIGHT NOW.  

Diabetic foot ulcers are no fun.  

They’re painful… hard to treat… and more likely to put you in the hospital than any other diabetic complication.

Now we know they could be a clear sign the vision problems are on your horizon.  

In the recent study, researchers from the University of Texas San Antonio analyzed the health data of 213 diabetic patients of looking for a link between eye diseases and foot ulcers.  

At the end, the data shows that folks with foot ulcers: 

•  Were up to 65 percent more likely to have macular edema (swelling of the retina),  
• 61 percent more likely to experience worsened diabetic retinopathy (damaged blood vessels in the eye that can cause blindness),  
• And had a 56 percent increased risk for vitreous hemorrhage (blood in the lens of the eye that can cause vision loss).  

NO. THANK. YOU.  

Who wants foot problems AND vision issues… all while trying to manage your diabetes, too? 

Thankfully, the study experts think they know why these two conditions are linked… and how to stop them.  

You see, folks with diabetic foot ulcers are less likely to receive the proper amount of care for their eyes.  

The researchers suggested that the pain caused by foot ulcers may keep patients from getting to appointments to receive eye injections and other treatments that can improve diabetic eye conditions.  

In fact, the study found that folks with foot ulcers received only a third of the treatments for retinopathy than diabetics without foot issues did.

This means if you have foot ulcers, it’s time to get them treated.  

Call your doctor today and ask for a referral to a wound specialist. They can help you get your feet back in tip-top shape… that way you can take care of your eyes, too.
