November is Diabetic Eye Disease Month

Diabetes is a disease in which the body's ability to produce or respond to the hormone insulin is impaired, resulting in abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated levels of glucose in the blood and urine.

Diabetes can harm your eyes.  It can damage the small blood vessels in your retina, the back wall of your eye.  This condition is called diabetic retinopathy.
