Found from the early diabetic eye

According to the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention's latest data, the United States currently has 24 million diabetes patients, while 5700 million people were naturalized subject to excessive blood sugar diabetes.

By the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center developed this instrument can capture the eye image, and thus to detect metabolic disorders and more obvious in the early symptoms of diabetes appear before the injury.

University of Michigan professor Weiketuoai Bernard and Howard Petty on this published in "Journal of the American Medical Association Ophthalmic" in July on the number of research reports explained. The instrument can be proactive in detail under the eyes photos, and eye tissue by detecting the fluorescence density of cells in the retina of the metabolism of tension. Scientists pointed out that the high level of fundus fluorescence itself is a sign of eye disease.

Elna and Petty on the retinal tissue of 21 patients with their own eyes on the fluorescence levels were detected, and test results with healthy people the same age were compared to the same target. Analysis of the test results, regardless of how serious the illness, diabetes self-fluorescence fundus level of activity is much higher than those of healthy people.

Petty noted that in early diabetes, clinical testing has not found the time their symptoms, high blood sugar had already begun to promote cell death within the organization, while the "patient's own fluorescence fundus raising the level of cell death and tissue damage of the first signs began to . " He explained that their fluorescent eyes like a "spectral biomarkers" that can explain whether metabolic disorder, so "use of the results obtained by the instrument can detect and discover diabetes."

According to the U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention's latest data, the United States currently has 24 million diabetes patients, while 5700 million people were naturalized subject to excessive blood sugar diabetes.

In addition, there are 4.1 million Americans over the age of 40 suffer from diabetic retinopathy, a diabetes-related eye complications are caused by inflammation of working-age adults in the eye of the culprit.
