DM, diabetes mellitus; BDR, background diabetic retinopathy; PPDR, pre‐proliferative diabetic retinopathy; PDR, proliferative retinopathy. NRM, non‐referable maculopathy; RM, referable maculopathy. P‐values were calculated by chi‐squared test to assess the effect of increasing duration of DM and random blood sugar on the stage of retinopathy and maculopathy.
