Hi all,
So for those who don't know me, I was diangosed as being Type 1 4 months ago. I developed gestational diabetes while pregnant with my first baby last year and the diabetes went away for 6 months, only to come back with a vengence resulting in a stay in A+E while in DKA. Anyway, while pregnant I always had tight control (1 hour post meal was always under 7.8 and fasting would always be in the 4's). Since being diagnosed as Type 1, I again took contol and my first Hba1c came back at 41 (5.9%) I've also always had normal blood pressure.
Went to my first eye screening recently and the letter has come back today saying my left eye is fine but I have background retinopathy in my right eye! I can't believe it - why so soon and when I've been controlling it so well?! Can this be treated or go away on its own or does this mean I'm on the path for further problems? It's only been 4 months! I'm totally gutted.
