Which of the following is a feature of proliferative diabetic retinopathy? \- A) Neovascularization \- B) Cataracts \- C) Glaucoma \- D) Optic neuritis Answer: A) Neovascularization Short Answer Questions: 1\. What are the primary microvascular complications of diabetes? Answer: The primary microvascular complications of diabetes include retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. 2\. Explain the role of ACE inhibitors in the management of diabetic nephropathy. Answer: ACE inhibitors reduce blood pressure and proteinuria, slowing the progression of diabetic nephropathy by decreasing intraglomerular pressure. 3\. Describe the importance of self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) in patients with diabetes. Answer: SMBG is important for detecting and managing hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, guiding treatment adjustments, and improving overall glycemic control. 4\. What is the significance of microalbuminuria in the early detection of diabetic nephropathy? Answer: Microalbuminuria is an early marker of kidney damage in diabetic patients and indicates the need for more intensive management to prevent the progression of nephropathy.
