This month, we turn our attention to a critical aspect of diabetes management—eye health. Diabetes can affect the eyes, leading to conditions like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and cataracts. These conditions can cause vision impairment or even blindness if left unchecked. We encourage everyone to prioritize regular eye exams, especially if you have diabetes. Early detection and management are vital in preventing severe complications. Let's raise awareness, spread the word, and support those affected by diabetic eye diseases. Please consult your primary care provider to find out more about how you can schedule these check-ups. #DiabeticEyeDisease #EyeHealth #DiabetesAwareness #GLINIPA #LifeIsBetterWithGLIN
