Re: Diabetes and blindness

[Guest guest]

Thank you! Doesn't sound like a small market to me!

Diabetes and blindness

The subject of blindness due to diabetes has come up.

Diabetes is the number one reason for aquired blindness in n. america.

12000 TO 24000 people a year lose their sight due to diabetes.

4.4 million people over 40 are blind due to diabetes.

I think the research is from Dan. Thanks Dan, for getting the facts. I still

content, however, we are a small group. 4 million sounds large, but it's only

about 1% of the US population. I'd like to see the findings in a little closer

detail. Sure, there may be 4 million blind diabetics, but how is blindness

defined? And, of this population, what percentage are monitoring their diabetes

and managing it? This is after all, the market the manufacturers are interested

in.
