  • Title: Proliferative retinopathy in patients with type 1 diabetes of less than 5 years' duration.
    Author: Bouhanick B, Bellanné-Chantelot C, Salle A, Guilloteau G, Ebran JM.
    Journal: Diabetes Metab; 2002 Apr; 28(2):141-4. PubMed ID: 11976567.
    Abstract:
    The position statement about diabetic retinopathy postulates that at least 3-5 years of duration of diabetes are needed for the retinopathy to occur, and initial retinal examination should be performed within 3-5 years after the initial diagnosis. We report here the case of a 18 year-old type 1 diabetic woman with a proliferative retinopathy discovered 2 years after the onset of a clinical diabetes. The hypothesis of a Latent Autoimmun Diabetes in Adults (LADA) could not be excluded and we propose, particularly in this context, to detect a diabetic retinopathy at the onset of diabetes.
