Maintenance Makes The Difference
Proper maintenance is a must
Type 2 Diabetes
your eyes
I began paying close attention to what I eat about 15 years ago when I was first diagnosed as having Type II Diabetes, I do not require insulin I injections but do have to watch what I eat and need to exercise.
The problem was that I did not always follow the most sensible diet, my carving for peanut butter and chocolate where a problem. Now peanut butter used sparingly can be fine but when it comes to peanut butter sparingly is not in my vocabulary.
Chocolate is another weakness, of course, I can buy sugar free chocolate and do but the problem is one of quantity, too many calories is also a problem.
My exercise regime was lax but has improved and I power walk a minimum of three times per week.
I just hade my eyes examined and they have improved since my last examination. I have had 4 laser eye surgeries in the past year, two in each eye.
They were necessary because I had diabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy is a general term for all disorders of the retina caused by diabetes. There are two major types of retinopathy: nonproliferative and proliferative.

- Type 2 diabetes: the basics | Canadian Diabetes Association
- Your body gets energy by making glucose from foods like bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, milk and fruit. To use this glucose, your body needs insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body control the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood. Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which your pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or your body does not properly use the insulin it makes.
