Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person’s blood glucose (sugar) level to become too high.
There are two main types of diabetes – type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is far more common than type 1. In the UK, around 90% of all adults with diabetes have type 2.
Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
Everyone with diabetes runs the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy, a condition that may cause blindness or serious damage to eyesight.
As part of a national screening programme, anyone with diabetes over the age of 12 years is invited to have their eyes checked.
Visit NHSinform Website for more information about the screening programme.
