watering eye
my right eye has been watering for a couple days now. someone told me that it was connected to diabetes. I have never heard this before. does anyone know if this is true or has maybe had this problem?

yeah.. you are right about that.. made an appointment..thanks
It's possible that it may be caused by diabetes.
The human eye needs to be constantly lubricated (by tears), one of the many eye complications that diabetics can suffer from is a slight swelling of the eye due to pressure building up from within the eye itself (Glaucoma).

See an Ophthamologist, as well as your Diabetes Professional to schedule an appointment for an eye examination to determine a course of preventive action.
