Hi all,
I have had diabetes nearly 15 years and for years I just ignored the condition almost in denial , I am now 23 nearly 24 and been diagnosed with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which has destroyed my life , I have had my driving liscence taken off me and lost my job and having to have so much laser surgery on my eyes and eye injections every month I feel disabled with the condition and struggle to see myself every living a happy content life with no problems - is anyone else feeling this way? I just don’t seem to do much with my life now I’m to scared to go out the door with how vundrable I feel with the diabetes and living a normal life , I’ve been told I could go blind if I don’t take control but I seem to loose control all of the time - can anyone else relate to this or share what helps them?
Thank you
