If you have diabetes or are prediabetic, remember the A-B-C-D-E and S to protect your vision. This advice comes from Dr. Judy E. Kim, a retina specialist. Here's what each letter stands for: **A** is for A1C: Keep track of your A1C levels, which show your average blood sugar over the past 2-3 months. High A1C levels can lead to vision problems and other health issues. **B** is for Blood Pressure: Monitor your blood pressure regularly. High blood pressure can damage blood vessels, including those in your eyes. **C** is for Cholesterol: Keep an eye on your cholesterol levels. High cholesterol can lead to clogged blood vessels, affecting your eyes. **D** is for Disciplined Eating: Follow a healthy diet rich in vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. This helps manage your blood sugar levels. **E** is for Exercise: Regular physical activity improves insulin sensitivity and overall health. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days. **S** is for Smoking: Avoid smoking as it can worsen diabetic complications, including those affecting your eyes. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the risk of diabetic retinopathy and other complications, improving your overall health and vision.
