Well done! Keep up the good work, I'm sure you will, there's no greater incentive.
For anyone reading this, who has just been told that they have proliferative retinopathy, Hooked's case is not an isolated or unusual one. James had proliferative retinopathy in one eye, a year ago, with similar warnings and needed laser. We have recently been told that it has "regressed" to "pre-proliferative", due to a low carb diet and normal blood sugars being maintained throughout the period. Interestingly, the consultant told us that he sees people from time to time who have clear evidence of old diabetic eye damage, having never been aware that they were diabetic, but admitting to having had a period of obesity in their lives.
