Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy at 6 months of omega 3 supplementation on macular capillary density measured in optical coherence tomography angiography in patients with minimal or moderate non proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss worldwide and is a major public health problem.

In Western countries, the prevalence of DR is estimated to be 35% in diabetic patients, while diabetic macular edema (DME) affects 5% of them.

Currently, apart from the balance of diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors, no specific treatment is given for the minimal and moderate non-proliferative forms.

* DHA concentration in the retina can be modified according to the patient's diet.
* Minimal diabetic retinopathy does not currently benefit from specific treatment outside of diabetic control.
* Omega 3 are already known for their beneficial effects on the retina, brain and cardiovascular system but their effectiveness has not been tested on diabetic retinopathy.
* It is therefore a question of evaluating whether an omega 3 supplementation, at a dosage of 1000mg per day, can treat a minimal or moderate stage of diabetic retinopathy.

A study by Salavila et al. has shown that the intake of LCω3PUFA, via a Mediterranean diet, improved the stage of DR in diabetic patients.
