Your Vision is Part of Diabetes Awareness.

 

 

November is Diabetes Month.  Diabetes Nurse Educator for the Northern Health Region Luba Dybalo says the theme this year is Keeping Your Vision : Eyes and Diabetes focusing on screening for prediabetes and type two diabetes.  She says people with diabetes are at higher risk of developing eye disease and it may be hidden for years so this year they really want to concentrate on informing people that they should be getting their eyes checked with retinal screening, check their eyes and keep their vision for life.

             

The Health Region has free retinal screening at the Primary Health Care Center on Thursdays.  They recommend this screening be done annually.  The Canadian Diabetes Association has a quick questionnaire available at DiabetesTest.ca where you can determine your risk for type two diabetes and prediabetes.
