[QUOTE="slayer, post: 1011988, member: 229360"] I've been diabetic for 20 odd years and for most of that time been in denial. At the age of 32, desperate to start a family, I finally managed to look diabetes in the face and started controlling my blood sugars. However, tighter control has led to diabetes retinopathy, my eye specialist decided not to laser my eyes even though he said I needed them lasered! He said because I 'might' be going on the pump, we would see how things go. My diabetes team are taking their time making a decision on the pump. If I am driving at night, the street, car or traffic lights look like massive stars and effect my vision. I have no idea what is going on with this. Is it the diabetes? I've also started dropping things that are in my hand. In addition, my right foot has recently felt tingly at the base and numb. Is my diabetes killing me and have I left it too late to reverse the damage? :( [/QUOTE]
