It's also important to pay attention to how your blood glucose levels respond after a meal.

About one third of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) develop diabetic retinopathy (DR), a leading cause of blindness in working-age individuals. DR typically develops after many years of DM, and some patients do not develop DR for more than 50 years.

Furthermore, degradation of this protective system over time may set the stage for development of DR.
