[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2522280, member: 365308"] Sorry you have had it so rough having had these problems during a chaotic time for the NHS. I've lived with sight loss following my double vitrectomy though the sight loss (partially sighted) beats going full on blind. My operation was done promptly so I feel lucky now but it did change my life since I cannot drive anymore. So its just to say you can and will adapt to the situation which wasn't of your making but do keep making the point re the covid shambles because we should never have closed our health service down in this way. As I understand it, the damage to the retinal vessels occurs during fluctuations i.e. rollercoaster blood sugars. Not saying that was you, just that I don't think the average consultant without looking at cgm data , can always spot what's going on! And most don't have time to check anything other than heart, kidneys, hba1c perhaps? My eye surgeon was my saviour not any of the daibetologists I've seen but that is expecting too much of them given the limited time and unlimited complexities of diabetics! [/QUOTE]
