[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 469309, member: 11028"] That is a shame but much can be done to improve the situation. First off keep your diabetes under control (I appreciate you said you do already) and try and keep your bp and cholesterol under control too, make sure you also eat plenty of fruit and vegetables in your diet as this is said to aid eye health, also make sure you attend your regular eye checks so that they can monitor your progress and advice accordingly. Sorry I don't have the stats but they do say retinopathy can be seen after 20 years of diabetes, however we do have members on this forum who have had diabetes for 20,30,40 & 50 years yet don't have retinopathy.
