[QUOTE="Tracey69, post: 220462, member: 34890"] HI I am a type1 diabetic and have been for36yrs. Retinopathy is to do with the blood vessels at the back of the eye. It can look like raspberries when they dilate your eye, these can be treated with laser. I have retinopathy in both eyes, both eyes are lasered all round. I have a continual bleed in my left eye with Macular edema, Which is where the Macular swells and your sight becomes blurry. All my problems are with the left eye, I am awaiting to go into hospital to have the Vitreous Jelly removed to try and stop the bleeds holding in the jelly, as all i can see is blood which keeps squirting. The best thing i can say is try and keep your sugars at a reasonable level, if you can walk for twenty minutes aday i find that brings my sugar levels down and try to watch your carbohydrates you are eating. It sounds scary but it is treatable. Just hope i haven't put you off. Please look after yourself. Tracey [/QUOTE]
