Hi, I have been diagnosed for 22yrs (originally as a type 1 then a type 2, then type 1.5!!!!! possibly....... all very confusing but never the less still diabetic)
Treatment is on the Medtronic pump and other medication to increase my sensitivity, which is virtually non existent at the moment. I have just found out after my Annual review that I have early signs of cataracts in both eyes and retinopathy as well. The person taking the eye exam said that they will send a letter out to me if anything needs to be done. My question is, is this correct or should I be worried about it?
My control has slipped over the last few months due to the passing of my mother which has affected me more than I care to admit, my HB1AC has went from 65% to 79%, bad I know. will this loss of control speed up the deterioration of my conditions? I have begun to clean up my diet and begun to test my self more frequently, as well as beginning to exercise again (used to be a Strength Athlete until I had to retire) , will these factors get me back to where I was before ???
Sorry for the multiple questions but I seem to be all over the place mentally at the moment
