[QUOTE="Merluna, post: 493101, member: 49918"] Ok, I really hope someone can cheer me up, put my mind at rest or at least make me feel a bit better! 18 months ago I was diagnosed t2 diabetic, with hyperinsulinism due to PCOS. My hba1c was 12! Within 3 months I had it down to 8, then 7.2 then 6.3 and now 5! My first retinal photos showed nothing, was expecting the same this time as my control has only gotten better! I am totally gutted, feel sick to my stomach that now I have background retinopathy! Especially as my control is better! In fact my doctors own words were 'please go out and tell everyone else his you are doing it! Your amazing!' I fact I worry now as frequently my bsl is 3's and 4's early pm so I have to eat something even if not hungry! Does anyone have any experience of this? I feel many sleepless night coming! Can it, will it reverse if it's because of poor control for so many years before diagnosis? Please help if you can! [/QUOTE]
