[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2136593, member: 365308"] I know it is scary and get that the anxiety is overwhelming at times. Things sounds positive for you in that your condition seems to be stabilising and there are other treatment options available before you even have to think of the op. I just wanted to point out that there are options even if laser hasn't been successful. I had aggressive bleeds too and as I recall my loss of sight was dramatic in both eyes went over 4 months. The surgery saved my sight but left me not enough to legally drive but everything has been stable since and I have been given the expectation that it will remain so! So bear that in mind and do what you CAN other than fret, which for now is stabilising your blood sugars. It may never come to losing your licence and even if it does you will cross that particular bridge when you get to it. Nearly going blind was my wake up call to take better care of myself and I'd be pretty useless to my 3 kids if I hadn't. Best to get confident with achieving a stable HBA1c before throwing in babies ! Lovely but tend to present a challenge from a diabetes point of view... [/QUOTE]
