[QUOTE="FantomPoet, post: 588437, member: 47839"] I was diagnosed with T2 two years ago and almost immediately found to have background retinopathy in both eyes. I also had a patch of Diabetic Macular Oedema. In the last month I had some treatment for the DMO. My retinopathy has now gone, in fact the consultant after talking about the DMO said 'other than that your eyes are fine'. So it is possible to recover from retinopathy but it does take good control of three key things (wow their lectures did hit home) those being Blood Sugar, Cholesterol, and Blood Pressure. I managed to do this using a LCHF diet reducing and stabilising all three (plus lots of miles on my bike). The method in achieving them is important its the result which counts. The consultants said it is the only way to control the retinopathy. A WORD OF WARNING: I have been told and it has been highlighted several times on this forum that a rapid drop in BS can initially increase the retinopathy so take it easy and look for long term reduction and stability.
