Do you or someone you know suffer from Sleep Apnea? New research shows that Sleep Apnea is a risk for developing Diabetic Retinopathy and Macula Edema, complications of Diabetes that are leading causes of vision loss or blindness in the United States. When people with Diabetes have poor control over their blood sugar levels, the tiny blood vessels at the back of the eyeball can become damaged. Researchers believe that Sleep Apnea may contribute to the development and worsening of these pathologies by increasing insulin resistance, elevating inflammation and raising blood pressure, all of which can damage the blood vessels behind the Retina.
