[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 697380, member: 1963"] I'm diabetic, controlled with Metformin and diet. I do have to get my eyes checked frequently due to the risk of blood vessel issues associated diabetes. I haven't heard that diabetes causes cataracts. I do know that one of the medications I was on for about5 years for my bipolar can cause cataracts as well. I think that medication is why they showed up so early, but that the "set up" was all those years of sun exposure. He really does need to loose the weight. Unfortunately, some diabetes medications can cause weight gain as a side-effect. (Just what every type II diabetic needs, huh?) I've dropped about 30lbs , which didn't help my back or any other joints like I'd hoped, didn't change my A1C, but did drop my borderline high blood pressure down to normal. Unfortunately, Itake propranolol (BiPolar (BP) medication) for migraine prevention, and as a result,have a blood pressure that ranges between asleep and dead. Also, atypical antipsychotics are associated with an weight gain, an increase in serum glucose levels, and the development of diabetes. I would do some research. I know when my mother had her cataracts removed about 7 years ago it was not really a big deal. My BFF had hers done 4 years ago and it was even less of a deal. She was back to normal activities within about 4 days, and didn't even have to go back to have stitches out. I'm holding off on mine for a bit if I can, but they are starting to interfere with my driving at night. Gettin' older ain't for sissies, and diabetes II is a complete PITA that can kill you if you don't keep track of it. [/QUOTE]
