Hi folks,
I saw the opthalmologist yesterday and it seems I have proliferative retinopathy. I had laser treatment on my left eye there and then and was told about scarring on my right, which may cause retinal detachment.
I have been warned off my bi-weekly football and light weightlifting, both of which have been great for controlling BG levels. It seems either could cause significant damage.
I'm 41, with 28 years T1 under my belt. I guess I always feared this bullet had my name on it. Now I am utterly terrified of blindness. Is this inevitable?
Anyone with any similar experience out there?
Help please
Micheál
