[QUOTE="Panda, post: 91365, member: 21512"] I had a similar letter and was frantic as I have had diabetes for 41 years. I complained that it was shocking news to receive in a letter that you have changes.(consultant disagreed with me). I thought that was bad enough but I have just recently been for Retinal Screening again and again received a letter now telling me that I have Diabetic Maculopathy and may need laser treatment and will be sent an appt for the eye clinic within two months. I phoned my GP and my diabetic nurse to ask some questions but they didn't have any answers for me. The funny thing was that It said in the letter I should try to ensure my blood pressure and blood sugars were kept to normal levels. They were before I received this letter!!!!!! :roll: [/QUOTE]
