Understanding Diabetes Mellitus Due to Underlying Condition with Stable Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. The disease results from high levels of glucose in the blood due to the body's inability to produce or use insulin effectively. Diabetes can lead to various complications, including eye problems such as diabetic retinopathy. In some cases, diabetes mellitus occurs due to underlying conditions with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a severe condition that occurs when blood vessels in the retina grow abnormally, leading to the formation of scar tissue. This condition can cause vision loss, and in some cases, blindness. Diabetes mellitus due to underlying conditions with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy is a complicated condition that requires careful management and treatment.

  1. Causes

    2. The underlying conditions that can cause diabetes mellitus with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy include:

  2. Chronic kidney disease
  3. Chronic liver disease
  4. Cushing's syndrome
  5. Acromegaly
  6. Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism
  7. Pancreatic cancer
  8. Symptoms

    9. The symptoms of diabetes mellitus due to underlying conditions with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy are similar to those of other forms of diabetes, including:

  9. Increased thirst and hunger
  10. Frequent urination
  11. Blurred vision
  12. Fatigue
  13. Slow-healing wounds
  14. Treatment

    15. The treatment of diabetes mellitus due to underlying conditions with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy involves managing the underlying condition and controlling blood sugar levels. Treatment options may include:

  15. Medications to control blood sugar levels
  16. Medications to manage underlying conditions
  17. Laser surgery to treat diabetic retinopathy
  18. Vitrectomy to remove scar tissue from the retina
  19. Injections of anti-VEGF drugs to stop abnormal blood vessel growth
  20. Prevention

    21. Preventing diabetes mellitus due to underlying conditions with stable proliferative diabetic retinopathy involves managing the underlying condition and controlling blood sugar levels. This can be achieved by:

  21. Eating a healthy diet
  22. Exercising regularly
