[QUOTE="Luissangiovanni, post: 2096615, member: 504335"] Hello. I was diagnosed with Type II back in March - My [B]HbA1c [/B]was[B] 55 mmol/mol [/B]back then.[B] [/B]I started a new diet and more active lifestyle and today my HbA1C is [B]34 mmol/mol[/B] without taking any medicine. A couple of weeks ago I went for my [B]Diabetic Eye Screening Test [/B]and today I received a letter stating: Your test result showed signs of [B]diabetic maculopathy [/B]that need to be checked further. Diabetic maculopathy is a condition where there are changes to the blood vessels on the macula, the central part of the retina at the back of your eye. This means we may need to check your eyes more often than every 12 months. I'm kind of FREAKING OUT, with the news and I'm seeking advice from anyone going through the same experience. Thanks in advance, Luis- [/QUOTE]
