Oct 2008, I was visiting Cayman Islands I stopped in to visit a family friend , an Indian ophthalmologist who was I had met whilst working at the Govt hosp there 1992-95 n We became close family friends .

he did a full eye-exam (free of course) n even gave me some free contact lenses.

He shared the info above ..n informed me that i was borderline diabetic..at that time it was newly discovered that an ophthalmologist can detect early signs of diabetes whn pupils r dilated

so i took it seriously n cut down on my my sugar intake ..

well sad to say… eventually in 2020 (unfortunately) my blood sugar was consistently above normal n i had to start metformin
