[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1012053, member: 11028"] Can I ask, were your diabetes team aware that you had diabetic retinipothy before you tightened up your bg control, the advice is for anyone who has retinopathy and has poor diabetes control is to make improvements slowly over a longer period of time. If your bp is raised then you need to get this down and you should discuss treatment methods with your gp, it's important to keep bg, bp and cholesterol levels under control once diabetic retinopathy has been diagnosed. Although my own bp was normal when my retinopathy was active I was advised to take a low-dose bp med called Ramipril to bring my levels down below 130/70 which my Ophthalmologist said would be beneficial to my eyes. Do push your diabetes team with regards to the insulin pump, make them aware of what your Ophthalmologist has said to you. [/QUOTE]
