Retinopathy

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults is associated with similar risks for mortality and cardiovascular disease and an increased risk for retinopathy compared with type 2 diabetes.

Real-world data from the UK Biobank show the value of a healthy lifestyle in people with type 2 diabetes hoping to avoid microvascular complications.

Women with type 1 diabetes who have microalbuminuria at the time of pregnancy have an increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes in the short term and for diabetes complications in the long term, shows research.

Study findings suggest that the presence of microvascular complications is associated with increased risk for all-cause mortality in people with type 2 diabetes hospitalized for COVID-19.
