Dr.
Arora said that many boundaries or non-diabetes were suddenly diagnosed as diabetics after covid waves.
“Some normal after steroid stops.
But the sugar level doesn’t all go back to normal.
The patient will remain diabetes.

This detection is carried out two months back while they may have a disturbance for a longer, “he said, adding they need to check up to get rid of retinopathy.
Retina surgeon Dr.
Sandeep Anjankar said, “About 20% of people are diabetes.
About 8% of them have retinopathy but still not diagnosed.
About 5% have advanced diabetes retinopathy, which is near blindness.
This happens because diabetics do not realize that they have retinopathy.
People only take drugs for diabetes or other related problems such as heart or kidneys.
They approached us when suddenly they stopped seeing.
” Dr.
Anjankar added that the retina was a mirror to the brain.
“If there is a problem with the retina, the patient may have problems in the kidney, heart or brain.
Compared to other complex procedures, a simple check-up retina.
Early detection can help increase longevity vision or vision.
In the final stage, retinal detachment or vitreous haemorrage happen, “he said.
Endocrinology Dr Pramod Gandhi said after Covid, many people are aware that they have diabetes.
“In our society, the number of people who do not know they have diabetes is the same as the number of diabetics is known.
Perhaps, during a pandemic Covid we have detected their patients.
Confinement in the home, lack of exercise, stress associated with job loss, weight gain, etc.

” “Diabetic retinopathy is a complication known.
If the diabetes under control forever, this is the most common cause of permanent blindness.
