[QUOTE="TerriH, post: 2414460, member: 284021"] So sorry to read about your troubles, Doctor Potford. The NHS has never been one of the best for diabetics. The Retinopathy screening ground to a halt at the beginning of the pandemic and has only just restarted here in Wales so I went to a local optician and paid £10 extra for a "deep" screening which can at least pick out any problems. In my personal experience if the retinopathy is mild or has only just started, the sooner it is treated the better but I would not advise any treatment which involves injections into the eyes. I have seen the procedure and it is horrendous. Good luck and get treatment a.s.a.p. [/QUOTE]
