[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 131570, member: 21149"] Hi Regarding eye tests, these are done annually or perhaps every 18 months or so. If you can't get an appointment shortly, in the interim you may want to get a digital retina scan done at your local optician. I recently had mine done by Boots during an eye test and didn't cost me anything (normally around £10). I was shown the photos and they were almost as detailed as the ones done by my local hospital diabetes eye screening. I've never had a diabetes card in 6 years! Sadly you will find there are lots of things that happen 'randomly' depending on your PCT. This forum helps us all find out what service we should be receiving and what to look out for such as good diet approaches. For me keeping my carbs sensibly low is the best thing for my control and keeping my meals timed sensibly during the day to minimise sugar peaks. [/QUOTE]
