I'm afraid I can't tell you that. I have had it on my last two tests, but I can say that so far it has got no worse. Others here I believe have had a different experience and have had it disappear after a period of good BG control.

Hi,
Agreeing with @JohnEGreen .
Good BS managment is certainly a factor in halting or even turning background retinopathy around.
