Hi All.
Just been told I have background retinopathy. I'm in my 11th year of diabetes (T1).
My latest a1c was 72 in Aug and I intend to have that reduced by Feb, next appointment. I probably have anyway as my bloods have been much better lately after tweeks with basal and bolus rates. Taking an average of 70% of my BG test within range ( for me 6-9.9)
Anyway What I'd like to ask is, of those people that have got/had background retinopathy, with good control, how quickly can it progress. Will I see a deterioration with annual tests now. Or is it possible to halt the progression.
