Diabetic Retinopathy is a serious health concern.
As many as 74% of people with diabetes could have difficulty digesting dietary fats including Omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA has been shown to protect against the progression of Diabetic Retinopathy.
It has been shown in clinical studies that specially formulated Omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce the risk and slow the advancement of diabetic retinopathy.1
US FDA Medical Food For Patients with Diabetes at Risk for Diabetic Retinopathy
Currently, standard of care in late stage treatment modalities for Diabetic Retinopathy are invasive, expensive and limited to laser photo coagulation and/or intravitreal injections of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors/steroids. Late stage Diabetic Retinopathy patients can also benefit from EPA/DHA treatment as shown in a two year randomized, single-masked controlled trial. This study followed two groups of subjects with Diabetic Macular Edema (DME).2
Group one received intravitreal ranibizumab alone; group two was given oral DHA/EPA (1,050mg/127mg day) in addition to monthly ranibizumab for four months then followed with as-needed treatments for ranibizumab.
Ranibizumab plus supplementation reduced central subfield macular thickness compared with the injections alone.2 In addition, the supplementation group also had a significant reduction in Omega-6 arachidonic acid levels at 12 months and a significant decrease at 24 months compared with baseline.2 Concomitantly, a similar pattern in the reduction of Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio was observed.2 The authors state, “the use of intravitreal ranibizumab along with DHA supplementation in patients with DME is extensively applicable to daily clinical practice”.2
