Will I regret having PRP instead of anti-VEGF? Is anti-VEGF worth it as it's an ongoing treatment? Is it lifelong?

Hello everyone. I hope you all have had a lovely Christmas. Does anyone have any experience with bleeding months after laser treatment? The laser was supposed to avoid bleeding... Yesterday my husband (type 1 for over 35 years) had a bleeding inside his left eye. I took him to hospital but...

I'm wondering the same thing, but it seems that getting a reply here is as difficult as getting insurance [emoji45]

Thank you for the suggestion. What are driving glasses? I bought some glasses with yellow lenses to wear over mine, as I have difficulty driving at night in country lanes due to astigmatism. The oncoming traffic is so close that the beams make it hard for me to see properly. He had never had...

@Fenn Thank you for explaining how you do your intermittent fasting. I found it a bit sad to get hungry and not eat for whatever reason, but what works for you, works for you. My husband goes really long hours without food, maybe that's the way he found to avoid hyper, but he also doesn't...

@EllieM Thank you for your kind words, Ellie. It's so encouraging to see that anyone can be healthy and happy after having any long term condition. I feel scared when he just eyes the carbs he eats because he has had really bad episodes of hypo in the worst moments throughout the years. Now...

@MrsA2 Thank you for the link, my dear! And for the idea! I'll certainly try counselling myself because I feel that I really need it anyway, and hopefully he'll see an improvement, envy me and beg me to share my secret! [emoji57]

@Lamont D I'm sorry to hear you've gone through such a tough time, and I'm very grateful to you for sharing your story with us and to encourage me. I'll take your advice and talk to my GP. [emoji3590]

Thank you dear. And don't worry about the link, I'll sort it out. You all have helped just by being here listening to me and giving me ideas. I'm very grateful to all of you[emoji3590]

Thank you dear. I'll have a look.

He uses libre. I thought after starting using it he would check his BG more frequently, but that's not the case. You're right, even though it's hard to watch someone you love damaging their own health, I should stop trying to make him look after himself. After 15 years of trying, I should have...

Thank you, I suppose you're right about the psychologist. If I don't narrow it, I might find someone who can talk with me in my first language, which would make things easier for me. I thought of calling my GP as I know I haven't been okay for a long time, but decided against it in the end...

He takes aspart (novo rapid) and degludec (tresiba). I don't know anything about basal test. As far as I know, his team only checks his Hba1c, which seems like nothing, as they say it's good when in truth he spends a lot of time with hypo and hyper... His ratio is 1ui:10g. He supposedly counts...

Thank you for the advice. It wouldn't be a lie, because it's just how he's feeling as well. Trouble is, I've suggested and he won't look for help, so the counselling would be for me, that's why it has to be private. I need to learn how to deal with someone who seems to be given up before it's...
