thanks Trachet. I met the consultant this morning and he confirmed there is damage to both eyes but that it's not sufficient to require laser treatment at the moment. I'm to go back in 3 months to see how it is going. As I have been only recently diagnosed 7 weeks ago, he's keen for me to...

I've got my appointment with the consultant ophthalmologist tomorrow so this is very reassuring! Thanks.

thank you everyone for taking the time to reply. I went for walk, cuddled my friend's new puppy and had a good cry with him. I know that I'm prone to rushing to the worst possible conclusion. So trying to keep calm, focus on the things I can control and be patient with myself is what I need...

Hi, I've been following the forum since I was diagnosed on the 1st September. It was quite a shock but my hba1c was 93%; my bp was 161 over 97. My weight was 12 stone and my bmi 30. I was immediately put on 500 mg metformin and 2.5mg Ramipril. That was doubled to 500mg metformin twice a day...
