Hello
I had my annual eye screening the other week and have got my results back which say there is some background retinopathy but i dont need to be seen for 12 months. I am only 22 and this is terrifying me that it will develop further. My hba1c hasnt been as good the past 3 years and has been about 8.5% however went i had clinic in december it was 7.3% and after doing the dafne course last year my blood sugars are more stable. I used to have a lot of hypos but hardly have any now. I just feel like i needed to talk to someone who understands as i dont know any other diabetics .I also wondered if anyone else had background retinopathy and if it went away?
Thanks
