TuDiabetes - A Community for People Touched by Diabetes

HI, all. I'm looking for info (not the textbook sort, the "been there, done that" sort you get on tudiabetes) on macular edema. I need to psych myself for a repeat eye doc appt (we're putting off immediate surgery and following the swelling around the macula to see if any of the lipid leakage is being reabsorbed). Thanks for your help!

Hi Kelly,
Google -> Dr Joe Prendergast MD who is an Endocrinologist. He may be able to help you with your predicament. Hope that helps.

I have a macular edema since one year and I can't have anything for it because my doc told me that if she did something I lost 90% of my vision. So I must take my A1C down and it's a very difficult task for me. what do the doctors do in USA or anywhere? Is there a treatment?
