The eye exam is much more thorough at the hospital as they dilate your pupil so can see a much larger area. Definitely worth doing.
I've never had that dye stuff put in my eyes at opticians.I had mine done at the optician and had my pupils dilated
I’ve had the dye at my opticians too, makes your tears yellow! Yuk!I've never had that dye stuff put in my eyes at opticians.

That is very unusual as they don’t like dilating pupils unless they absolute must. So I was told by both opticians local.
It's best to go to your official diabetic eye screening appointment so they can keep the images on record and use them for comparison next year. The people who grade the images in the eye screening programme are specialists in spotting diabetic retinopathy and have strict quality control. (Although opticians are employed in some parts of the country to take photos for retinal screening, they need extra training to be able to grade for the eye screening programme.)Yes I had that done last year as I had a floater and a flash in my eye so went straight to the optician. He did a thorough eye exam, dilation and all. Asked if I was diabetic. I said at the time I don't know to be sure basically but don't think I am etc etc.
I was in there for a few hours and he was great. He couldn't see any bleeds or scarring then. I assume looking back he was looking for signs of retinopathy etc.
I just wondered whether it was possible to have it done there to speed up the results, but I have one booked for 15th oct at my surgery.
The fattier the better the fat makes you feel more sated.. M&S do a 20% beef mince for £3 per kiloSorry another question. I lied. That was not the last one.
With regards to meat, mince etc. Does it need to be 5% fat or is ordinary mince fine?

Thanks.
Is this the correct meter to buy? Which one do I get mg/dl or mol/L??

You can ask an optician to do test, but unless you are already experiencing eye problems like blurry vision it's not urgent, and personally I would wait for the retinopathy test at the eye clinic which is usually within four weeks.
