Hi. I was diagnosed with Late T1 in November last year out of the blue. My hba1c was 88.
I quickly got it down to 44 and have kept it there since.
I had the results of my first retinal screening in the post today and it says background retinopathy. It doesn't specify in the text but I think it's just one eye - one is R0 one is R1.
I'm really worried about it to be honest. I'm only 32 and to get this at my first screening... also just became a father for the first time a month ago. I just don't know what to do. If it's a control issue but my hba1c is 44... how does that work? Do I have any hope of reversing it in those circumstances?
Has anyone been through anything similar?
