[QUOTE="Tilly_S, post: 1448107, member: 357315"] Can I ask even though it was background did they send you to a consultant eye specialist at the hospital too? I wasn't told I'd need that I had a second screening and this is what iv heard next so am v worried :-( is it just to be safe as I'm pregnant ?.... I'm going to go at 34 weeks and I'm just worried they will say I need surgery or something and il need to have baby too early :-( I relate to this also! My pre pregnancy I was the worst diabetic for years and years (only good when I was pregnant with my son 7 years ago) it shames me to say but yeah I lived as though I wasn't diabetic didn't own a meter and didn't always give novo ... sometimes just lantis I was playing bloody gambling with my life now I look back I can't believe how stupid I was My hba1 when I had two miscarriage was 98 or 100 and something I think ! It was only when I started over and did everything correctly for 9 months before falling preg I realised just how bad it was .... my life is v different now with diabetes before I ignored I had it and now my lie is centred round diabetes lol :) I used to just have a random guess at what I'd eaten to inject when I even remembered .... wows .... so yeah I went from 0-100 in a short space of time too and it's def affected my eyes ...

My scan 32 weeks is Thursday ... the fact I'm meant to be induced at 37 weeks and havnt yet moved teams or know their guild lines yet is stressing me as it's 5 weeks away now I just hope scan day is ok and I can report some good news Hope to hear a good update soon Xxx [/QUOTE]
