Hello everyone

I went to my background review every year.Phenomenal, after 28 years of evolution, type I. The retina fully clean.I told him that very well but I didn't see very well.Then he told me he had a cataract principle.I was in pictures.He told me, even being premature for my age, 57, in diabetics it is normal.Come on, in case we no longer had threats of complications ... also ballots for cataracts.

There is no doubt, the milonga that if we took care of each other we would not have complications, that a milonga !, Similar to that extended that we can lead a normal life and others.It is many years and one concludes that complications .... will arrive, yes or yes.Let them delay after more care ... Okay.But we must not forget that it is a degenerative disease, that accelerates aging and with it comes what we all know.

Greetings

Man ... I with 49 years I have cataracts in one eye ... and I am not diabetic.
The cataracts can be hereditary and the gene that produces them is autosomal dominant, which means that the defective gene will cause the condition, even if only one of the parents transmits it.
Anyway, even being the issue of diabetes as you say (one **? !!^), perhaps cataracts are not for this reason.

Sometimes you say that you are diabetic and they blame everything, neither should we exaggerate.That obviously we are more likely than many other patients from which certain things happen to us, totally agree, but I do not know, in the end it does not mean that it happens to us as to everyone, we become older and with age all the fights are coming out haha.
I know that I will have older cataracts, because years ago they told me in a revision, that I had something that indicated that it would be, but nothing to do with diabetes.
You have to take care of yourself, we more, but it should be something general.He who has no cholesterol, has the tension, the one who does not tartitis ...

@Sorprendido I know very young people who have had to operate cataracts and had no diabetes.

Of course, having an incipient cataract at age 57, is perfectly normal.Obviously, and probably for environmental reasons, the appearance of cataracts has advanced something in relation to what happened 40 years ago, but there is no reason to relate it to diabetes.
In what if I agree is, that the complications of the disease, retinopathy and nephropathy, will appear, but that, far from contemplating it as a misfortune, it must be considered as inexorable and being prevented.With this philosophy, the game is won

I would have to move these words and reasoning, which I see very reasonable and sensible, to this doctor of mine. As my own Nick indicates, I was "surprised."It is obvious that I did not know everything that concerns this of the cataracts, what they consist of, when they appear, and as practically there is no ailment that is outside the bag of the diabetes .... that was what I did, incorporate, without more, without more,other.

Diabetes is a very treacherous disease because its pathological base is in blood vessels.First in the small vessels, eye and kidney, and later in the large ones, which explains the special incidence of vascular diseases in diabetics.But look where, the lens that is overshadowed, giving rise to the cataract, has no vessels

Thank you, ophthalmologist, your explanation is most illustrative, clear and rigorous at the same time.The doctor who saw me, told me that in 6 or 7 months a new exploration should be made to see how it has evolved.As a professional I imagine, do you see it a reasonable time?
The other day I listened that the main cause of death in Spain is still the diseases related to the circulatory system ... to consider it as diabetics.

Greetings.
