abstract = {Diabetic retinopathy is a microangiopathy resulting from the 

 chronic effects of diabetes mellitus. Healthcare professionals 

 often work in isolation to deliver highly specialised care 

 efficiently and effectively for people living with diabetes. It 

 is not uncommon for people with diabetes to be making frequent 

 visits to community and hospital clinics to see a variety of 

 specialists and healthcare professionals, with seemingly little 

 opportunity for coordination of this complex health management 

 programme between the wider team. In a field that is so diverse 

 and rapidly changing, healthcare professionals of all 

 specialties need to be aware of developments across all aspects 

 of diabetes management. In this article, we discuss the 

 epidemiology and natural history of diabetic retinopathy and 

 describe an approach to its assessment and diagnosis. We provide 

 an overview of the principles of diabetic retinopathy management 

 and outline possible future treatments for diabetic retinopathy.},
