The good news and the bad news is, not many of our current caseload of veterans, but that's what will quadruple that number. Type 2 diabetes is hitting people in their fifties now, and a quarter of those people have some type of retinopathy already. Of that group, a quarter will develop vision loss as a result of diabetes. Those are the statistics. That's it.
So unmanaged type 2 diabetes, which many people don't take as seriously as they could because it's often the misguided belief that it's not as bad as having to take insulin, is what's coming to that group, but it's not here yet. Prevention tactics could be put in place to mitigate those effects.
