  • A new study published in The Archives of Internal
    Medicine confirms that popular Type 2 diabetes
    drugs like Actos and Avandia may increase the
    risk of vision problems. 
  • In one of the largest clinicals investigating
    vision loss associated with the class of drugs
    called thiazolidinediones, researchers found that
    these drugs may increase the risk of macular
    edema, or swelling in the main part of the
    retina, which can result in blindness in one or
    both eyes.

  • Roughly 103,000 people with Type 2 diabetes were
    followed for about a decade in the study.  
  • Patients using a thiazolidinedione medication
    were found to have a two to three times higher
    risk of macular edema, even though the likelihood
    of disease was relatively small.
  • The standard practice of combining the drugs with
    insulin seemed to heighten the risk further.

  • The study highlights not only the importance of
    regular vision checks for anyone with diabetes,
    but the necessity of getting diabetes under
    control to lessen the severity of the effects of
    the disease. 
  • Steps that could help reduce the risk of diabetic
    macular edema, according to the author of the
    study Iskandar Idris, include lowering blood
    pressure and keeping blood glucose levels in
    check.

  • Some ways to start begin with addressing
    metabolic imbalances that cause high insulin
    levels. 
  • High insulin levels make you to eat more and gain
    weight so adopting a balanced diet that is
    nutrient-rich, low-sugar, and high in fiber and
    omega-3 fats will correct some of the metabolic
    imbalances.
