Q. I have Type II Diabetes. How often should I have an eye exam? What about feet?
A. Everyone with type 2 diabetes should see an ophthalmologist for a dilated eye exam yearly.
In addition, you should be checking your feet for redness, sores, blisters, cuts or scrapes every day at home.
A visit to a podiatrist is also recommended once a year.
