[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1378167, member: 52527"] R2 is the next stage up from background retinopathy (R1). Although it doesn't affect your vision and doesn't need treatment, it needs to be monitored more frequently than the annual eye screening in case it progresses to proliferative retinopathy. If you can continue to improve on your HbA1c, you may be able to halt the progression. If it did progress, proliferative retinopathy can be treated and, by being monitored more frequently, you can be offered treatment before any symptoms develop which is when it is most effective. An improvement in diabetic control could improve the retinopathy so much that you go back to having only background retinopathy and you could get returned to having annual screening. [/QUOTE]
