ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method of treating diabetic retinopathy and a means for preventing its reoccurence. This is accomplished by supplementing the diet of the diabetic with approximately 1000 mcg sodium selenite and 1000 IU vitamin E on a daily basis for between 24 and 35 days until the visual acuity of the diabetic improves. Thereafter a daily maintenance supplement of 250 mcg sodium selenite and 400 IU vitamin E can be used. In the initial supplement, 1000 mcg selenonthianone or 1000 mcg selenium yeast can be used although it is less effective and requires 2000 IU of vitamin E for positive results.
