People who were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in more-recent decades may be less likely to suffer vision loss than their predecessors.
In the new study, Dr. Ronald Klein and colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison looked at data on 955 people who had taken part in a larger study of long-term diabetes complications, which included vision exams sometime between 1980 and 2007. All had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes before the age of 30.
