Understandably your upset but try not to worry as they will monitor your eyes very closely from here on.

The following website has a wealth of information on the subject of diabetic retinopathy, have a good read round as there's loads of helpful advice:

Early stages of damage that "sits in the background but is not in itself a danger to vision". See: http://www.diabetesnet.com/about-di...ions/eye-complications/background-retinopathy which is a US site but seems to have quite a bit of info on it.

As others have said, you'll need to be monitored more closely - your GP should be contacted to see what safeguards are now necessary.

Hope that helps.
