[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2120410, member: 401801"] You mean diabetic retinopathy? That doesn't happen overnight, and you'll be tested for that every year or once every 2 years from here on in, so if something does go awry, they catch it early. But with what you're saying... I do think you'll be fine in a week or two. ;) The bulk of us go through that when our bloodsugars drop suddenly. As for testing, test before a meal and 2 hours after first bite. If your blood glucose goes up more than 2.0 mmol/l, the meal was carbier than you could handle. It's a steep learning curve, but you'll get there. (I don't remember whether I posted this before, but just in case: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] ) Good luck! Jo [/QUOTE]
