Diabetes is a chronic disease where your body can’t properly produce or use the hormone insulin. If not managed, diabetes can lead to serious health problems over time.
A family doctor or other primary care provider can help by checking for diabetes, supporting health lifestyle changes, prescribing medications and keeping an eye on things like blood pressure and cholesterol. They can also help catch and treat problems early, so you can stay as healthy as possible.
Vision health information can be hard to navigate. Whether you or someone you know has been newly diagnosed with an eye disease because of diabetes, or have been living with an eye disease and are looking to learn more, Fighting Blindness Canada (FBC) understands the importance of accessing helpful information.
