claimWhile chronic hyperglycemia remains the principal driver of DR, growing evidence suggests that dysregulation of essential trace elements, including magnesium, zinc, manganese, chromium, selenium, and iron, may contribute to retinal microvascular injury through oxidative stress and impaired endothelial function.
