Hi everyone. So I’ve just had my eye screening results back and I have signs of diabetic maculopathy. I’ve been told I now need to be further examined and being referred to the surveillance screening pathway.
My diabetes has always been badly controlled so I know it’s my own fault however after seeing my nurse recently and being told iam at high risk, we’ve come up with a plan to try and get my levels down. My most recent hba1c was 92 I think (it was 117) iam type 2 but on insulin twice daily - this could change to 3 times. Currently waiting to see a specialist at the hospital (April 27) to discuss if I may actually be a different type (t1, LADA or MODY, or if I just have resistance etc)
My question is should I be worried? I’ve never heard of maculpathy so googled it... probably shouldn’t of
Thanks for reading x
