It’s Diabetes Week: Meet David Krishna Roy

June 17, 2021

Diabetes Week is an annual UK-wide initiative which aims to raise awareness of diabetes as well as raise vital funds to help research the condition.

Our diabetes team work alongside colleagues from Heartlands including David Krishna Roy, MSc, Eye Screener.

David believes eye screening makes a difference to patients’ vision and mental health giving them vital information to make more informed decisions. David likes to empower his patients as it is really important that if you are diabetic, to attend your diabetic eye screening appointments at your local opticians to help keep your sight and reduce the chances of any vision loss.

Untreated diabetic retinopathy is one of the most common causes of sight loss. When the condition is caught early, treatment is effective at reducing or preventing damage to your sight.
