Answer # 1 #
As diabetic retinopathy progresses, new blood vessels may grow and threaten your vision. Over time, too much sugar in your blood can lead to the blockage of the tiny blood vessels that nourish the retina, cutting off its blood supply. As a result, the eye attempts to grow new blood vessels.
