Who is at higher risk for low vision People age 65 and older, as well as African Americans and Hispanics over age 45, are at higher risk.

About 135 million people around the world have low vision.

Selling Endowment (AXcess News) Houston, TX - A new diabetes drug developed by Eli Lilly claims to cut the risk of vision loss in diabetes patients, according to an analysis of two phase 3 studies disclosed at the 66th Annual American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions held in Washington DC.

Diabetic retinopathy, a common complication of diabetes, can cause severe vision loss or blindness. According to a team at the Joslin Diabetes Center, Boston, the finding could help in the development of new treatments for this and other eye diseases, as well as brain swelling caused by stroke, head injury and other conditions. They analyzed vitreous (gel fluid in the eye) samples collected from 25 people. The team concluded that a protein called carbonic anhydrase 1 ( 1) causes leakage of retinal blood vessels, which contributes to the retinal swelling (diabetic retinal edema) often associated with advanced diabetic retinopathy.

Endowment Mis Selling Ruboxistaurin, or Arxxant can significantly reduce the occurrence of vision loss in patients with moderate or severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy, according to Eli Lilly and Company, which reported its findings from the studies.

In a Harvard study of 126, 000 subjects, men who drank 6 or more cups of coffee every day cut their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 50%. In women, drinking the same amount of coffee cut their risk for diabetes by 30%. The antioxidants in coffee have been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in laboratory tests.

Three diet drugs used for weight loss were found to result in minimal weight loss, according to researchers.

However, this weight loss was enough to affect improvement in cholesterol levels, blood pressure and diabetes.

Many people with diabetes develop a problem with their eyes called diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes damages the small blood vessels in the retina. This is the part of the eye that captures images and sends the information to your brain. Diabetic retinopathy can lead to poor vision and even blindness. You can help avoid damage to the retina by keeping your blood sugar and blood pressure levels near normal. This can slow the progress of retinopathy and prevent vision loss.

Lilly Endowment Only those subjects with moderate to severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy were included in the study.
