Hi guys and girls.
Received a bit of a worrying letter today from the diabetic eye clinic where I live.
I recently went for a screening and it appears I have signs of maculopathy in my eyes. I'm quite shaken up with this as I don't really know what it is, what the treatment options are, and because of the complications my mum has had with her diabetes I'm pretty worried.
I'm fairly healthy at 24, despite the cigarettes. I am trying to stop but hav not given up completely yet. I'm quite sure that smoking may have something to do with it.
In short I'd just like some advice and someone to tell me it'll be okay...
