Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diabetic retinopathy is an eye condition that can cause vision loss and blindness in people who have diabetes. It affects blood vessels in the retina (the light-sensitive layer of tissue in the back of your eye). If you have diabetes, it’s important to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once a year.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin, Blood Sugar, and Type 2 Diabetes The food you eat is broken down into blood sugar. Blood sugar enters your bloodstream, which signals the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin helps blood sugar enter the body’s cells so it can be used for energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin resistance If your body is unable to produce enough insulin (or you don’t inject enough insulin), it results in hyperglycemia. Insulin resistance is the main cause of Type 2 diabetes, but anyone can experience it, including people without diabetes and people with other types of diabetes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Educate about home glucose monitoring. Review factors in glucose instability. Encourage client to read labels. Discuss how client’s antidiabetic medications work. Check viability of insulin. Review type of insulin used. Check injection sites periodically. 05-Jun-2020
