Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by impaired control of blood sugar, and often associated to systemic hypertension. Both conditions – hyperglycemia and hypertension –are independent risk factor for the insurgence of one of the most dreadful side effects of diabetes, i.e. diabetic retinopathy. In this short review we describe the relationship between diabetes, hypertension and retinopathy, and give some hints about possible strategies to control or attenuate the risk of developing such condition.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by impaired control of blood sugar, and often associated to systemic hypertension. Both conditions – hyperglycemia and hypertension –are independent risk factor for the insurgence of one of the most dreadful side effects of diabetes, i.e. diabetic retinopathy. In this short review we describe the relationship between diabetes, hypertension and retinopathy, and give some hints about possible strategies to control or attenuate the risk of developing such condition.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
