How much youll pay depends on several factors, including whether your doctor orders it and for what reason, if you have health insurance, the type of plan you have, where you live, and even the lab where you get the test.
Other risk factors that may increase vulnerability include: Long duration of diabetes (typically more than 10 years) Poor glycaemic control prior to starting GLP-1 therapy (HbA1c significantly above target) Rapid reduction in HbA1c (a drop of more than 2 percentage points [22 mmol/mol] within 36 months) Concurrent hypertension , especially if poorly controlled Diabetic kidney disease (nephropathy), which often correlates with retinopathy severity Previous history of retinal treatment (laser photocoagulation or intravitreal injections) People with type 2 diabetes but no retinopathy appear to have minimal risk of retinopathy progression based on current evidence
