[QUOTE="minidvr, post: 988767, member: 103335"] The thing with eye tests is that they can vary. My prescription was reduced because one eye seems to have improved, although I suspect that his previous prescription was too strong. I've had 2 retinal scans, and it's interesting when the operator shows you the pictures, rotating your eye balls so that you can see what they're talking about. Mine were both clear, just received confirmation in writing of the latest. I'm on a low carb diet, which has worked. Lost about 17 ibs and 3 inches of the waistline. Started playing table tennis in a group of oldies, and that has contributed to overall fitness and weight loss, along with walking (fair weather walker) as well. As I'm a vegetarian, the low carb suits me fine and no issues with too much protein as I avoid it with a veggie diet. Good luck with your health, your GP sounds pretty switched on as they got you a meter and strips on prescription. My GP won't prescribe and says that I don't need to test, which is laughable - self funding isn't that bad if you only test weekly and when you feel a bit funny (which might indicate high or low BG).
