Diabetic retinopathy occurs more in children with type 2 diabetes - Video
Overview
Findings from a recent study in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology suggest that children with (T2D) are at a higher risk of developing retinopathy compared to those with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study suggests the need for earlier surveillance and intervention for preventing vision-threatening complications in children with T2D.
The prevalence of T2D diagnosis in childhood is increasing. Despite this, not much is known about the natural history of ocular sequelae in youth-onset T2D compared with T1D. To shed some light on the topic, Patricia Bai, Alix School of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, and colleagues aimed to assess the risk of developing diabetes-associated ocular complications (DAOC) among a population-based cohort of children diagnosed with either T1D or T2D during a 50-year period in a retrospective, population-based medical record review.
