Nearly 50% of diabetes patients develop Glaucoma at some stage. In my fathers case, it started that he lost his reading vision in one eye through Glaucoma, which is how they discovered he had undisgnosed diabetes.
If he had had more regular eye check ups the Glaucoma would have been diagnosed much earlier.
