Pre proliferative retinopathy

I have recently been diagnosed with Diabetic retinopathy & have to go for an eye injection on Thursday. Frankly I`m not looking forward to this. Anyone else had this treatment & can reassure me its not going to be as bad as I am imagining?

I've heard the injections aren't as bad as they sound and it's the thought of it which worse than the actual procedure. I hope this was the case for you and that you're ok x
 
How did your appointment go? I hope you don't mind me asking, I have a referral appointment next week (5 months after being referred) and I'm so anxious about it x
It went fine, just as any normal check and they said there were no changes. It will be fine, they say if you manage your bloods things will slowly get better too. Easier said than done to not worry, but I am sure yours will go fine x
