Hi all
I have been diagnosed 7 years ago in December. I had my ups and downs with managing blood glucose levels. Generally I would say they were quite ok. I never ended up in hospital in coma because of mismanagement. But today I have received a result of latest eye screening and I am shocked. They detected some background retinopathy. I tried to search online about how long does it take for first test to be at stage 1 and couldn't find much information. How long did it take you to reach some background retinopathy since diabetes type 1 diagnosis? Also share your thoughts and your feelings about your situations.
