Some good news from this T1 of twenty years I thought I’d share
I had a letter in October saying I’d been referred to the ophthalmologist as they’d seen maculopathy in my left eye and pre-proliferative retinopathy in my right after my routine eye scan. To say I was bricking myself for my hospital appointment today is an understatement.
The damage to my eyes they had spotted at my screening in the autumn has healed! My doctor said my eyes are actually in amazing condition even without considering I’ve had type one for twenty years, he said to “keep doing what you’re doing” - also “what _are_ you doing to keep your levels that good?” So I told him, he was quite impressed with the add on MiaoMiao to my Libre and the low carb food changes I’ve been making. And my eyesight is sharper than his
So it looks like it was **** control for two decades catching up with me, followed by the sudden drop in HbA1c level since last year (I went from 89 last winter to 37 now) that caused the problems, and that my good levels since have healed it (in that time the numbness in my toes has almost gone, the suicidal levels of pain I was getting in my jaw thanks to diabetes induced trigeminal neuralgia is no more than the odd twinge, my receding gums are gripping my teeth again, and I feel great for the first time since I was diagnosed in 98) - showing that some complications can be reversed if you maintain normal bg levels.

Who’d have thought normal blood sugars could be so good for us, eh?Wow what a surprise , so that’s what an HbA1c of 37 does for our bodies wow
I’ve got bifocals (mid 40s, pretty standard stuff), think I’ll just have to put up with that. I have had some healing of the numbness in my toes too - there was several months of pain before they went numb a couple of years ago. I hadn’t realised how bad they had got until I got out of the bath, looked down and saw that one of my toes was completely folded under my foot, and I didn’t feel a thing. That was a bit of a lightbulb moment that I had to get my s**t together. The feeling slowly came back via the same sort of pain, and while there is still a little numbness, it’s miles better and still improving.That’s brilliant! Gives us all hopemy eye sight has deteriorated so much. Have bifocals and thought I would have to settle for the damage to eyes n joints... it feels like my lower legs have been mummified sometime - but the cramps let me know they are still mineloving that you healing️
Great news.. Just wondering, if you take insulin, did you reduce your intake on low cárb diet...Some good news from this T1 of twenty years I thought I’d share

Hi Mel
I seen your post re Trigeminal Neuralgia and your hba1c improving this
I get the odd twinge, but no more than a 4/10 on the pain scale. Was at 12/10 any time I salivated before. I’ve had non diabetic HbA1c (very steady levels, so no massive spikes or hypos) for around a year now. I’m sure it can heal.I am type one and just diagnosed with TN. My hba1c been all over the place past few years. Have you had any recurrence of TN. At a loss now and super stressed with it all
