Role of Systemic Factors in the Progression to Vision‐Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy in a New Mexican Patient Population with Type 2 Diabetes: Glycemic Control Is Not Enough
This study suggests that glycemic exposure alone is not a good enough predictor of DR progression. Other diabetic microvascular complications such as nephropathy, in addition to race/ethnicity with differing genetic associative factors, may also play a role in the multifactorial progression through DR phenotypes.
