[QUOTE="Guilty, post: 2663312, member: 572547"] Ah, sounds a bit like me telling myself 'I just need to deal with one thing at a time'. And I have paid the price for it. Best thing to do is to go to the doctor now. But if you're using it as motivation to make some permanent lifestyle change in the meantime then great. Please don't put it off longer than 3 months though. In my experience, easy for 3 months of putting it off to turn to 3 years. A year of high blood sugar will have caused underlying damage. But in terms of damage with symptoms you might be worrying over nothing. Even if it's affected your eyes a lot, after the screening they can treat it to stabilise it. This is why I say get checked. Your best thing you can do for yourself and your body is to get help. Let them worry about and deal with the other bits. While you focus on what you can deal with right now. [/QUOTE]
