[QUOTE="Disneyfan, post: 493129, member: 44415"] Hi Merluna I was diagnosed in May 2012 and at my first retinopathy scan it said I had background retinopathy. This scared the life out of me as my mum is T2 and suffering severe macular degeneration/glaucoma the works... she's currently on lucentis injections which are helping but she can't see to drive etc. At that point my fasting levels were 17 with an hba1c over 100. Last May my scan came back clear ... i'd lost 5 stone and my hba1c was down to 36 (5.4). So I guess it can reverse - or at least that's my experience. fingers crossed for you. [/QUOTE]
