[QUOTE="Auckland Canary, post: 1132389, member: 70613"] Hi Just read your message and felt immediately compelled to reply. Background retinopathy is almost ubiquitous amongst T1s. Admittedly you seem to have developed it earlier than many but at this stage there is no need to worry. I have been T1 for 33 years and have had background retinopathy for over 10 or 12 of those. It has in no way affected my eyesight and as long as you maintain good control it is sometimes possible to reverse it or at least stop it deteriorating. This doesn't mean you can ignore it as it is a warning sign but please don't worry. Your Hba1cs are great so just keep up the good work. Hopefully some other people will come along soon and reinforce this. Take care. [/QUOTE]
