    Newly Diagnosed

    Diabetes Retinopathy

    I had poor control for a long time and have had laser all around both eyes in 2014. Eyes remained mostly stable since then. I have vastly improved my control in the last 6 months and last check in March said eyes VERY stable. The surgery was NOT a fun experience. However there was an upside...
