[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2300865, member: 345386"] TypeZero - A couple of years ago, despite serially good A1c results (low 30s), a screening picked up a change (not a bleed, but a change in one of my eyes). Needless to say I was disturbed, disappointed and a bit bewildered by it. I am fortunate enough to know one of our local Opthalmologists, specialising in Diabetic Eye Disease, so it'sno stretch of the imagination to learn, I called him to discuss it all. to be clear, to the best of my knowledge he has never looked at my screens, but the discussion talked around what can happen, how a change can occur and how they can also disappear. However, one thing he was very keen to stress was that whilst it is true some people living with diabetes can develop eye problems, associated with their diabetes, not all eye issues in those relating to people living with diabetes are due to their diabetes. In other words, not everything is due to diabetes. Of course, it is important your condition is followed up and you are cared for in an appropriate manner. This must seem like a blow you could have done without. I wish you well with it all. [/QUOTE]
