Had all the usual photos and examination. It was quite a brief consultation but essentially went like this:- On the initial screening 3 weeks ago, they noticed lots of what looked like small spots, suggesting new blood cell growth. On today's screening they cannot see any evidence of blood cells growing which is a positive sign.- There is however a bleed behind each eye. He thinks there is a slim chance that these might be obscuring the small spots spotted originally. So I am booked in for a dye test on the Christmas eve and see the consultant again on new years eve. He wanted to make sure this wasn't the case. He feels the small spots and/or bleeding may if been because of my sudden control. So all in all, potential positive that I'm not showing the small spots on the retinopathy. However, bleed between both eyes and he said he imagines I'm displaying anything from moderate to severe/significant retinopathy.Would love to welcome thoughts and people with similar experiences if reading! And how worried I need to be about the bleeds, success rates and if I'm wrong to be feeling a tad more positive!Can repeated low blood sugars such as hypos cause bleeds also?Thanks!</blockquote>
