Hi everyone. I've had T1D since I was 10; when I was 13 I started restricting and eliminating my insulin. This lasted 5 years before I began to recover, and although 3 years later I'm able to take most injections, my control is still considerably less than perfect. Today I was diagnosed with CRVO - central retinal vein occlusion. I am now permanently partially sighted in one eye. I can't stop blaming myself, as I feel that if I hadn't been so stupid in the first place this wouldn't have happened - even though logically I know it's not my fault. I'd love to talk to some of you about it to put my mind at ease!
