Abstract

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus, a disorder impacting insulin production and utilization, led to elevated blood sugar levels. Immune system assaults on insulin-producing pancreas cells caused Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, while Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus affected glucose processing, predominantly in adults but also observed in children. Unmanaged diabetes resulted in varied health issues including heart disease, kidney damage, nerve impairment, and diabetic retinopathy, a major cause of adult blindness. Objective: To prevent diabetic retinopathy through glycemic control, achieved via management, lifestyle choices, screenings, treatments, education, and awareness. Machine learning techniques like transfer learning, ensemble learning, CNN-MNIST, and multiscale approaches showed promise in detection and diagnosis. Monitoring blood sugar and eye exams were vital for early retinopathy treatment. Result: DR risk is elevated in those with positive complications like nephropathy, heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, foot ulcers and HbA1C levels ≥6.8%. Retinal imaging aids diagnosis and monitoring of ocular diseases like DR, utilizing processed monochrome images for structural analysis. Method: involved observing NPDR, MPDR via eye exams, measuring glucose, visual acuity, and retinal thickness. Retinal imaging aided ocular disease diagnosis, utilizing processed images for analysis. Conclusion: Diabetes prevalence rose globally, projected to affect 800 million adults by 2050. High India rates emphasized healthcare need, especially in remote areas, addressing diabetic retinopathy and early symptom awareness.
