Diabetic retinopathy presents similarly in type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

“now given that the actual retinopathy is very similar maybe the same uh between type 1 diabetes and type two diabetes and again it involves things like leaky blood vessels new blood vessel growth there's some amount of neurod degenerative dysfunction that just simply occurs uh so so uh you can have little little hemorrhages or bleeding spots in the retina tiny little strokes or microvascular uh uh events in the retina uh so that can happen in either type 1 or type two diabetes one once you start having the retinopathy it does look pretty similar”
