As others above have said careful control of blood sugar is important, but don't panic about blips. You might never have to go for treatment. If it's any consolation I still drive, read and have had no treatment since despite alarming letters from the eye screening service on several occasions. Good luck! Very many have had this done, even when lasers were more primitive. From my perspective they are a lot less dangerous than uncontrolled haemhorraging in the eyes. [/QUOTE]
