I have been diagnosed type1 for 5 years. I have good control and my HbA1c has always been 44 or lower (36 in December). I’m not overweight or have high blood pressure but after my recent eye screening test I’ve received a letter which tells my me I have background retinopathy. I’m surprised given I have good control and relatively newly diagnosed. Now I’m really worried! There was no more info in the letter apart from to say I don’t currently need treatment. Anyone else had anything similar.
I think I’m after some reassurance or advice please. I read that you should tighten sugar control but don’t think I can do much better. I will make an appointment with dr but wanted some thoughts first.
Thanks
