“…The patients that did not follow the suggestions of the AAO (9) regarding the first FE examination after the diagnosis of DM, showed greater severity of DR (p<0.001, chi-square test). Since general practitioners and/or endocrinologists usually do not adopt stricter treatments for DM until the ophthalmologic examination confirms the presence of DR, as demonstrated in one of our previous work (13) and since inadequate plasma glucose control is associated with an increase in DR severity (5)(6) , not performing early fundoscopic examination in the disease not only causes a delay in the treatment of possible DR but also represents a lack of opportunity to stress adequate DM control for those with some signs of retinopathy.…”

“…In such patients, fundus examination has been recommended to be performed soon after the diagnosis of DM is established (9) . Considering that DM may be present long before the disease is diagnosed and that endocrinologists tends to enforce stricter control of DM only after the ophthalmologic examination confirms the presence of DR (13) , we have hypothesized that the later the fundus examination is first performed, the greater the severity of DR would be. The purpose of this paper was therefore to investigate whether the time interval between type 2 DM diagnosis and the first fundoscopic examination is related with the presence and the severity of DR observed.…”

“…Os pacientes da nossa amostra eram acompanhados em média por três médicos, o que, teoricamente, aumentaria a transmissão de informações sobre a doença. Entretanto, em estudo recente, demonstrou-se que o conhecimento médico das medidas preventivas e de periodicidade do exame para diagnóstico de RD apresenta-se distante do ideal (16) . Pesquisadores procuraram avaliar o grau de conhecimento sobre RD entre pacientes diabéticos acompanhados em um hospital de Florianópolis (SC).…”
