Researchers have discovered a new Alajen help to delay the risk of deterioration and loss of sight in the category most at risk of blindness among patients with diabetes type II, in the study is the largest of its kind to date.

Occurs dimness of vision or blindness, also known as peripheral networking diabetes diabetic retinopathy, a deterioration in the situation of the blood vessels feeding the retina, which is typically what happens in both eyes, may occur cataract vision as a result of the new blood vessels are fragile grow over the retina, a condition called retinopathy divisive.

The study, which is the largest of its kind .2865 people with diabetes type II, suffered less than 50 per cent, a moderate, of diabetic retinopathy at the beginning of the study, which lasted nearly four years, during which researchers take photographs of the retina to record any changes in the blood vessels, eye, and provides retinopathy.

Dr. Walter Ombrosis of the Center for Baptist Medical University's "Wake Forest", which led the study: "Many people with diabetes suffer from problems of tiny blood vessels, which can lead to kidney problems and amputation of toes, feet, and the only place where you can monitor the blood vessels minute is the back of the eye. "
He continued: "What we saw in the eyes and is likely to be an indicator of what is happening in other parts of the body."

The patients in this study three types of treatments: treatment for the control of the normalization of the level of sugar in the blood, and treatments to control blood pressure and make it part of normal levels, in addition to placebo.

The researchers found that two treatments I and II led to stop the advance of the deterioration of cataracts.

It is noteworthy that diabetes is the fourth cause of death in developed countries, and one of the major causes of blindness and disorders in the consideration of adult patients, and the first cause of amputations.

And emphasizes the many studies that diabetes is the third reason in the world for the loss of vision.
The recent British study found that diabetes doubles the risk of death from heart disease, different.

Attributed the study, conducted by researchers from the University of "Cambridge" ancient disease that is behind the deaths and one of every ten deaths due to heart disease, equivalent to 325 thousand deaths annually in industrialized countries.
