New supplement shows promise for diabetic eye damage

This study tested a natural supplement called Nuvastatic in 100 adults with type 2 diabetes who have early-stage diabetic retinopathy (eye damage) without swelling in the central vision area. The goal was to see if it can safely slow the disease and improve vision by reducing inflammation and protecting blood vessels. Participants took the supplement or a placebo for several months, and researchers measured changes in retinal thickness, visual sharpness, and protein markers in the eye.
