[QUOTE="iHs, post: 402783, member: 8799"] Hi Its true to say that opticians are now able to do detailed eye screening and will go over the results of the eye scan with people which is really very good for those who would want to know but not good if it makes people go a bit overboard with the control of bg levels as usually lower bg levels which also result in a lower hba1c although good in one way, ends up being not so good if it also makes it that you only experience the hypo feeling when your bg levels get down to 2-3mmol. Ive been type 1 since I was 10yrs old and am now in my late 50's and I am fairly well and don't live in fear of complications ruining my life so please don't despair. As long as you can keep your bg levels within safe limits and achieve an hba1c somewhere between 6.7% to 7.1%, you should be able to enjoy life and do everything you want to do. [/QUOTE]
