[QUOTE="sw11bloke, post: 415671, member: 59057"] Hi Keith and Tracy I am sorry to hear the problems associated with your eyes. I know how stressfull this is. Could I ask you a few questions? I have been a T1 for 12 years now and have background retinopathy in both eyes and then recently was diagnosed with M1 maculopathy in my right eye. Does the maculapathy deteriorate your eye sight very quick? Do you have any advice for me? I am desperately trying to get my blood levels under control. Would this condition stabilise and not deteriorate more if I do? My last scan saying I had M1 maculopathy was just a letter sent to me without any details or further follow up treatment. I then contacted my diabetes team only to be told that my GP would need to deal with this. I then contacted my GP only to be told that she is on maternity. Nobody has since even bothered contacting me. a letter was sent to the surgery from the eye clinic but that too seems to have been ignored. Any advice and information would be appreciated. Just as a matter of interest, when were you diagnosed with maculopathy? Is your HBA1C below 8? Many thanks [/QUOTE]
