[QUOTE="Hooked, post: 625585"] It's a huge kick up the a$$ getting a letter like that, isn't it? I got one at the start of 2013 saying I had proliferative retinopathy. Was told by the specialist when I seen them that without treatment I'd be blind within a year. One of my eyes was proliferative and one was pre proliferative (boarder line proliferative). I've had laser on both of them a few times now. Last few appointments no laser needed. It hasn't been easy, more from a physiological point of view tbh, but I've got through it and got on top of my diabetes much better than before. As Noblehead points out, don't tighten things up too quickly, gradual improvement is much better for complications such as retinopathy. Good luck and keep us posted. x [/QUOTE]
