Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blackadder" data-source="post: 84099" data-attributes="member: 11255">Well the letter arrived yesterday that I was hoping wouldn't and I have an out-patient appointment at the local hospital for a eye consultant to have a look at my eyes again and decide if I need to have further treatment.  But as normal NHS I have well over a month nearly two to wait for this.  Does anyone know if this can be done privately and quicker?  I have PPP health insurance through work.I do have another question which is worrying me a lot.  I know there is consensus that by low carbing and normalising your blood sugars this can bring on retinopathy fast as I believe this to be my case but is there any evidence to suggest it brings on any other complications too?  I am now extremely worried and part of me is kicking myself for being so desperate to improve my control.I have two young sons, one only 5 months and all I wanted to do was prolong my life so that I can watch them grow up into men and play football for England, I feel like I've made this worse not better.  Ok the football for England bit maybe a bit too much but I'll take Liverpool if not full internationals. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
