I had my eye screening and was told all was normal, yet for the previous 4 years I had background retinopathy, I didn't think it could get better, only worse.

Yep, mild background retinopathy usually clears up when you get those blood glucose levels under control.

Background retinopathy encompasses quite a range. It's not unusual for people to bounce backwards and forwards between "background retinopathy" and "no retinopathy". It's a good sign because it suggests the background retinopathy is occurring at a low level.
