^^ it is possible to have pre prolif without noticing a difference. I went through all of this very rapidly in pregnancy and eventually it disturbed my vision a lot. Like you, I was very worried however I went through all the stages until I had the vitrectomy (what I felt like was the last...

Hi there, if you have had proliferative retinopathy and it has been treated by pan retinal laser plus a vitrectomy (in one eye) can it ever return? My doc refers to it as 'treated retinopathy'. Thanks

The council which I work for has diabetes down as an example of disability, I've asked that any time is off because of it (inc eye injection appointments etc) is put down as disability not sickness, not sure if this is the same wherever you work though?

Haha fingers crossed for you that he / she will be less than your first! And congrats! Xx

Aha! Thanks... Tiny ants kayaked everywhere sheepishly FOLDS

It was a bit! But I also wasn't expecting it and didn't have eyes checked until about 4 months preg, so I would ask them that you have really regular check ups as soon as you can. There's lots they can do if they spot anything, laser etc its just something to be aware of if you're bringing down...

^^ I knew there was a reason!

This is a boring sentence.

Interested to know about eyelea too, I'm having the lucentis injections.im also going to use the mask, you have to pay £250 and then £200 every 3 months if you carry on with it. Sick of mac edema!

I've always used them all w/o problems although I avoid aspirin and ibuprofen as I think they'll make my retinopathy worse (sure I read this at some point but have NO medical explanation to quote!)

Hi, yes I had this situation with my son! My levels were appalling..I mean really really bad. It was over 10 (old currency) and that's all I'm saying. Obviously as soon as I found out I was straight on it and brought it down. I had a scary talk with my endo which completely depressed me, however...

To make sure the difficulty of maintaining good sugar levels is highlighted. I hate the word 'control' when there are so many flippin variables..sometimes it feels Impossible even after 22years! Important not to talk about complications in a way that makes it sounds like you have been a 'bad'...

I think there's a general lack of understanding, personally though I've put hypo stop and the sugar injection in our staff fridge and explained what it's for. I've never been so low at work that I've needed help luckily, school wise though, I'm a primary teacher and it's quite surprising how...

Thanks azure, they are good questions to ask. I'm trying the noctura mask soon too so hopefully that will help.

Thank you both for the replies [emoji106]

Anyone?

Apologies for the typos I am on my phone!

Hi and help! I have a two year old som and desperately want another however I had an extremely difficult first pregnancy with my eyes and also other bizarre happenings! The very rare and strange things I went through were adrenal insufficiency (undiagnosed until 4 months post partum) which was...
