Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark Horse" data-source="post: 1149303" data-attributes="member: 52527">The guidance from the National Screening Committee is :- Once there is or has been a definite diagnosis of diabetes, excluding gestational diabetes, the patient should be screened for diabetic retinopathy annually for life. (For those patients who had steroid induced diabetes whose diabetes is now 'resolved' the decision about screening should be made on a case by case basis. If there is any doubt, the patient should continue to be offered screening.)Removing a patient from the diabetic register usually removes them from the national diabetic eye screening programme so if you were definitely diabetic and weren't on steroids, it is worth checking that you will still be offered eye screening.</blockquote>
