Hi all,
I have had diabetes type 1 for 25 years and on the insight insulin pump, this year has been horrible and am undergoing a Vitrectomy in my left eye on Christmas Eve. I am going on for general anaesthetic as previously fainted when having intense laser sension! Ihave previously had 6 sessions of laser treatment to know success. I also found out my right eye has started with the disease also.
As you can imagine I have felt really low and been prescribed antibiotics depressants along with beta blockers for anxiety. Also been given sleeping tablets due to not being able to sleep well.
My blood testing is bad at the moment with hba1c of 9.9%. I have just seen diabetes team and been a supportive session. I would like to know best ways to get on track once again. I am not doing enough BG tests which obviously affects eyes etc. I know where I am failing but support is major source of encouragement so if any one has advise please let me know either on here or private message me!
Thanks in advance
David
