Diabetes increases your risk of glaucoma
OR=2.6 for Type I and 2.4 for Type II.
Executive summary
At the Glaucoma Research Foundation dinner last night in San Francisco, one very experienced glaucoma specialist (40 years of practice) said that he thought diabetes was a risk factor for glaucoma, but didn’t have the odds ratios.
It took me just a couple of minutes to load up Airtable on the data from over 13,000 people that is publicly available for anyone to verify.
The OR values of having glaucoma if you have diabetes vs. the public in general are:
OR=2.6 for Type I
OR=2.4 for Type II.
This means that if you have glaucoma and diabetes, your diabetes (or something strongly correlated with diabetes) was, more than likely, the primary cause of your condition.
The calculation
Here’s the calculation for Type II:
Statistics for glaucoma = 13227 445 236 19 13927
One-sided p-value 0.0009189789488973581
Two-sided p-value 0.0010820008892928057
Odds ratio= 2.392777247097857
Confidence Interval(low=1.401807625627245, high=3.865501930509169)
Here’s the calculation for Type I:
Statistics for glaucoma caused by type 2 diabetes = 13227 85 236 4 13552
One-sided p-value 0.07320282329920315
Two-sided p-value 0.07320282329920315
Odds ratio= 2.6371807512031658
Confidence Interval(low=0.6967154970534637, high=7.092757993122508)
The confidence intervals for type 1 diabetes had a low of <1 but it’s a good bet that it’s unlikely that type 1 diabetes is lowering your risk of glaucoma because the OR was higher and the mechanism of action is likely similar. The numbers were less precise simply because of low sample sizes.
Chronic conditions caused by vaccination
If you were wondering whether vaccination in general causes glaucoma, the answer is a surprising no!
Glaucoma is one of the very few chronic conditions that is not associated with higher levels of vaccination!
So it’s a nice negative control in surveys and studies to validate that you got it right.
And negative controls are awesome since it shows that anyone claiming that “all these diseases that are elevated with vaccination are simply because people who are vaccinated see their doctors more” is simply trying to gaslight you.
The data
See the tables here and here for all the chronic conditions caused by our out-of-control vaccination requirements.
Summary
Diabetes increases your risk of glaucoma. Vaccination does not DIRECTLY increase your risk of glaucoma. However, vaccinations increase your risk of diabetes.
Bottom line: I would avoid all vaccines if I were you.
About 10 years ago, a relative was starting to get glaucoma and couldn’t drive at night because of the glaring light effect. I did my usual research and found a product called Can-C, which is basically liquidifid NAC. She used the product twice a day for about three months as I recall. She was able to drive at night again. Her ophthalmologist confirmed there was a definite improvement. She has since passed away after dying unexpectedly in the hospital pre-Covid. A friend had called an ambulance because she had fallen and busted her knee on cement. She called me the next afternoon and told me they were trying to kill her. As most people would, I discounted her comments as being drug-induced. That night, I got a call from the head nurse that she had passed away. I realize this is not related to the glaucoma, but I had to share this absolutely atrocious event in the name of “helping those in need.” I remember reading a few months ago that doctor error and/or adverse drug reaction is now the third cause of death in the United States. Buyer beware.
