[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 840705, member: 92241"] So sorry to hear that Maidz. The general line the medical establishment gives is that treatment will not reverse problems, but can stop them from progressing further. However, I have read accounts on this forum where people have had problems with their eyes, and now they no longer do. Remember, it's now very rare for diabetics to go blind. Some people have laser surgery and go on to have no more problems. If you maintain good control of your diabetes, it's likely that your sight will remain with you for the rest of your life. Even if you have treatment, it sounds like it's preventative at this stage. [/QUOTE]
