ORLANDO, Florida — Diabetic retinopathy may be yet another ill effect associated with vitamin D deficiency, a new meta-analysis and systematic review suggests.
The findings were presented May 27, 2016 here at theAmerican Association of Clinical Endocrinologists 2016 Annual Meeting by Anawin Sanguankeo, MD, a second-year resident in the department of internal medicine, Bassett Medical Center, Cooperstown, New York.
"Patients with diabetes and low vitamin D levels may develop earlier or more severe diabetic retinopathy," Dr Sanguankeo told Medscape Medical News in an interview.
