Hello, Josh. Are you near sighted? As Dark horse mentioned, floaters can be a sign of bleeding into the eye's jelly. It could also be a sign of a retinal detachment, but generally, you would have a decreased field of vision or severely reduced sight. Most commonly, a sudden increase in floaters...

I gotta go to bed. It's been a **** long day!

All right, fellas.

Oh, thank you for your reply! Yes, I can see how that can be a very common question and we must do our best to inform them. It's a good testament to character and intellect that one is able to find such complicated information and digest it on one's own. Sadly; many of us are not lucky enough to...

I wasn't sure where to post this thread, but I'm talking to some newly diagnosed patients on monday and I've been mostly focusing on "how I did it" as per request of my nurse. But I also want to answer some of the questions the nurses and nutritionists and so on don't answer. Specifically I've...

I was only 25 when I was diagnosed with T2. Youngest I've heard of. Sucks. Should have taken the warning signs.

Sorry to hear about that, my friend. Hopefully it'll pass in a short time. How's your eye feeling? I know dry eyes can be a pain with Bell's. There are bandages you can use (called a moisture chamber) to reduce evaporation of tears. https://www.good-lite.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=809 Hope it...

People with RA and other rheumatoid disorders may sometimes experience symptoms from the eyes in the form of potentially serious inflammations, which could also cause macular oedema. The treatment is then different. I would love to hear what they conclude after the examination! Hope you're...

Well, it's a complex question. I don't suppose he gave you any pictures? The gray spot could be anything, sadly. When it comes to retinopathy, traditionally, the vision merely grows blurry. That's not to say you've got retinopathy. It could be as simple as needing different glasses or perhaps...

Hello, Emma and welcome to the forum! I worked with gastroenterology briefly and made some experiences along the way there and I would like to say that you've done a good job in seeing the symptoms and acting on them. So there's a link between UC and diabetes that's well known in theory, but...

Hello, fellow member! I wanted to take time to address your mood, as I feel this is oftentimes overlooked. Low mood and low energy can oftentimes be attributed to depression, be it situation or seasonal or maybe even medical. I have had recurrent depressions for years, which I have gone...

Thank you all for your kind comments! I have already written down a few words about diabetic retinopathy in the subsection if anyone would like to proofread it! :) I am not very proficient in English, so I would be glad to have anyone proofread it :)

Hello, everyone! It's been a long one and a half years with some major lifestyle changes... So to start things off, I discovered my diabetes after I passed out at work. I work as a nurse and the symptoms were kinda piling up, so I decided it was time to face facts and get that blood sugar taken...

I've just now come to the realization that blood sugars are quite a private thing to diabetics and comments from non-diabetics on my post-prandial blood sugar being around 7 is a very offensive thing. Never thought it would bother me, but it's within the normal range, so I am not sure why I am...

Going to attempt to make my house liveable again. I have two irish setters who have gone through potty-training on my wall-to-wall carpets. Sadly no vacation this year :(
