                                    My Dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
In view of long standing DM there are chances of vitreous hemorrage.The possibilitiy increases with pre existing diabetic retinopathy.
You would already be informed of diabetic retinopathy if it was present already.
The management starts with continued control of DM
Avoid excessive strain
contact ophthalmologist immediately to confirm.
Please do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
