I’m 42 and and I’m diab from 1977 so it’s close 39 years with my friend
During last screening some days ago my specialist told me that I’ve a pre-proliferative retinopathy and it’s absolutely necessary to start as soon as possible with laser treatment. Usually I check my eyes every 6 months, my HBA1c is 6.8 (51) and I’m also using Freestyle libre. I wear glasses but I don’t have any vision problems. Do you think laser treatment is necessary also for pre-proliferative retinopathy? (the specialist told me that without laser the retinopathy will quickly become proliferative) I’m only worried about side effects of the laser.
Thanks in advance.
