People with diabetes are 25-times more likely to lose vision than those without. The tight glucose control that can prevent the development of diabetic eye disease (retinopathy) is often difficult to achieve, and even if it is, retinopathy can still develop. In people with Type 2 diabetes a once daily specific blood fat lowering tablet fenofibrate can substantially predict against the progression of eye damage, independent of blood fat levels. Fenofibrate also protects against diabetic kidney and nerve damage. FAME-1 Eye is the first trial in Type 1 diabetes and aims to determine at least 3-years of fenofibrate can also protect against eye damage in adults with existent early retinopathy. Results, if positive can be immediately used in clinical practice.
