Hi, I’ve been type 1 diabetic for 33 years and over the last 4 years have had diabetic retinopathy/bleeds on both eyes. My control is probably as good as it’s ever been (7.5 my last hba1c) and I’ve been told the length of time I’ve been diabetic also plays a role. I’ve had lots of laser on both eyes to the point the doctors won’t do any more, as the bleed un my left eye didn’t clean I had surgery to remove the gel. I have had ‘floaters’ in my right eye for around 4 years and get bleeds now and again, currently I have a bleed and I’m going to push for surgery on the eye. The most frustrating thing at the moment is the problems I am having with my employer, I have always been asked to make the time up for the appointments but that is becoming increasingly difficult given my life and that I’ve been told I need to go to hospital that are pretty far from my home, does anyone have any advice on how to handle this with my employer or where to best get advice, thanks
