Clinical research from 330 participants reveals that serum advanced glycation end products (AGEs) levels nearly triple in type 2 diabetics with retinopathy (11.27) compared to healthy controls (4.09), with diabetics without retinopathy showing intermediate levels (7.09); AGEs drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and pathological angiogenesis in the retina, and glycation begins long before a diabetes diagnosis, so lowering blood sugar, reducing ultra-processed foods, and prioritizing protein and fat intake can protect vision by protecting metabolism.

AGE Levels Nearly Tripled Before They Lost Their Vision #shorts #CollegeofGlycationAdded:
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in people with diabetes and a new clinical study just confirmed what's driving it glycation.
Researchers measured serum ages or advanced glycation end products in 330 people across three groups healthy controls type 2 diabetics without retinopathy and diabetics with retinopathy. The pattern was unmistakable. Age levels in healthy individuals climbed 75% in diabetics without eye damage and 175% in those with retinopathy nearly tripled.
Ages fuel inflammation worsen insulin resistance and drive the abnormal blood vessel growth that will destroy the retina. Here's what matters. Glycation begins long before a diabetic diagnosis.
Lower your blood sugar, cut ultra-processed foods, prioritize protein and fat and you'll protect your eyes by protecting your metabolism.
