How fast is to fast - retinopathy

I have retinopathy (treated with laser) and was told to get tighter control, but not quickly as it can make it worse (can't think of a better word) try and get better control over a few weeks. As the retinopathy doesn't follow the control, it carries on then starts to get better as your better control takes over. It is confusing as I have tightened mine but am still getting new vessels growing over the retina, but was told that it is slowing, due to the better control.
Good luck with the retinopathy

Hi @Hattonma I am unable to help but tagging @himtoo for his input.

It's a moot point which is discussed here:- http://www.diabeticretinopathy.org.uk/retinopathyprogression.htm
