Risk factors for DR and treatment for hyperglycemia, hypertension and hyperlipidemia were compared among subjects in the low-risk cohort: non-adherent subjects did not differ from their adherent counterparts without progression of DR, but the former had a shorter duration of diabetes and higher diastolic blood pressure than adherent Taking into account that most diabetes patients have T2DM and that the majority of these individuals do not have retinopathy and are at low risk of progression to STDR [13] , extending control intervals for this population is likely to substantially reduce the workload in screening programs. We investigated adherence in 1000 patients with T2DM participating in a DR screening program, applying extended intervals of 36 and 18 months for patients at low-or intermediate-risk of DR progression, respectively.	./cache/cord-355118-w3l4h5y4.txt	./txt/cord-355118-w3l4h5y4.txt
