Clinical and therapeutic interferences between diabetes and cataract

Abstract

One of the most common non-communicable chronic diseases and the most common endocrine disease in both humans and animals, diabetes is characterized by disorders of the entire metabolism, especially carbohydrate metabolism and by complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and vessels blood. In many studies, dogs have been favored due to breeds of breed, genetic molding, and it is found to them that the living environment is important in acquiring diabetes over time, the disorders being heterogeneous by race and characterized phenotypically . The aim of the present paper was to identify the correct and early diagnosis of diabetic animals, to establish the mechanisms by which the secondary cataract of diabetes occurs, to establish a correct treatment, so that the diagnosis errors in the future will be as rare as possible. For this, dogs with diabetes were monitored even over a year, blood glucose levels were as close as possible to the normal range, using appropriate treatment for each patient, using appropriate diets by encouraging a proper exercise regimen , But not least by properly informing the owners of diabetic animals. The primary objective was to detect diabetes and secondary cataracts as early as possible by determining blood glucose, ketone bodies, ocular ultrasound, and electroretinography, followed by appropriate treatment for each patient with Mixtard-30 and / or Lantus insulin. Of the 25 significant cases studied, 14 were treated exclusively with insulin, ie insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, sometimes supplemented with oral hypoglycemia, 7 patients were treated exclusively with oral hypoglycemia and 4 cases were treated with insulin as well as with Oral hypoglycemia. Cataracts present in 56% of subjects were treated with good results using Quinax eye drops. Good results were achieved by observing a constant caloric intake at each meal, feeding half of the total caloric intake at each insulin injection, maintaining the same meal hours, avoiding dietary changes, and following a daily, daily exercise effort.
