I saw my eye doctor in July of this year. All clear so far.

I went last month. I have been type 2 for 19 years. No eye problems yet. Except for reading glasses needed due to getting older. 51 years young!

This 3-D Animation on diabetic retinopathy lasts less than 4 minutes, but despite the authors use of big words, I bet you'll want to set up an eye appointment after visualizing whats going in your eye with this complication.
Definitely set up an appointment. Make it your personal christmas present.

I go to the Eye Unit at Joslin in Boston every 6 months. My eye doctor has been seeing me since I was 8... 31 years. He got the biggest laugh this year when he got to prescribe my first pair of glasses - EVER! I'd had 20/15 vision my whole life and all of a sudden last February, I couldn't see... near or far. Things got really fuzzy. He LOVED that he got to prescribe me bi-focals and my mother laughed and said "at least I made it to 40 before I got mine!" Mean people! I cried and cried. I'd gone to Boston via Amtrak, by myself, from Stamford, CT and I cried all the way home (3 hours). The doctor told me that it was all normal. Had I not been diabetic I might have made it to 40, but I got bi-focals at age 38 : (
Through the years I have had micro-anurisms (spell?) and now I am showing hardening in one retina. When I was 15 I was a horrible diabetic and truly rebelled... that one year did damage to my eyes and I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life.
