  This classification is characterized by the presence of at least one retinal microaneurysm or hemorrhage. Microaneurysms are outpouchings of retinal capillary walls, caused by loss of pericytes of the cell wall—which leads to weakening. [reviewofoptometry.com]

[…] median age at onset of Type 1 diabetes was 8.4 (interquartile range 4.2-13.3) years in probands and 16.9 (interquartile range 10.2-27.8) years in later-affected siblings (P CONCLUSION: The siblings first affected by Type 1 diabetes had a better long-term prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The worst prognosis seems to be in age-at-onset group 5–9 years. However, if compared with age at onset 10–14 years, this difference did not reach statistical significance (1.29 [0.98–1.70], P 0.07). [care.diabetesjournals.org]

In the past, the prognosis for pregnancy in diabetic women with microvascular disease was so poor that many physicians advised avoidance or termination of pregnancy. 2 With the recognition that the level of glycaemia during pregnancy is directly related [bjo.bmj.com]

The patient presented 16 months after fetal death of unknown etiology at 26 weeks of gestation with acute visual impairment in both eyes; severe proliferative retinopathy was diagnosed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prolonged hyperglycemia is the major etiologic agent in all of the microvascular complications of diabetes, including diabetic retinopathy. The cellular mechanisms through which hyperglycemia acts currently remain unclear. [retinacenternj.com]

The etiology of this increase involves changes in diet, with higher fat intake, sedentary lifestyle changes, and decreased physical activity. [3, 4] Patients with diabetes often develop ophthalmic complications, such as corneal abnormalities, glaucoma [emedicine.medscape.com]

This can describe etiologies of intraretinal swelling including diabetes, post-surgical macular edema, vein occlusions, and uveitis. [eyeguru.org]
