[QUOTE="CapnGrumpy, post: 1060776, member: 195556"] To answer the second part of your question; if you've not been long diagnosed, then it's unlikely that you have this yet, but it's important that you're checked. Retinopathy is a long term result of high blood sugar but even if there is very mild background retinopathy, you'll receive an overly alarming letter that makes it sound like you could go blind any minute. This isn't cause to panic - I've had pretty much the same letter every year for some time and it's never gotten further than the 'we'll look at it again in a year' stage. [/QUOTE]
