More eyes and stuff
I'm about to start my 3rd course of laser treatment for my Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic Maculopathy in the last 8 months. It's all a litte frustrating to be honest but these things are sent to try us I guess.
I'm having blood tests for my HBA1c tomorrow but I am a little worried about the results as I have had one thing after another recently, i.e. chest infections, kidney infections and split with my boyfriend, I'm also worrying… Continue

Eyes and stuff...
In February I had 4 sessions of laser treatment for my Diabetic retinopathy, there was some concern as to whether I would lose my driving licence as a result because it was considered a very high likelihood of me losing my peripheral vision in my left eye however I've just had a Visal field examination which I passed 100% - huge relief! I'm just waiting to hear back from the DVLA officially now.
Since staring on Byetta my blood gl… Continue

- Catherine if your glucometer reads in mmols, like they do in Britain and Ireland, if you would like the American levels, just multiply your reading by 18.
If you're looking to change the American readings to ours just divide by 18.

- Catherine,
Yep it will have an affect on your driving.........It will make it better! I know it did for me!!!! I know how you feel about public transportation. I have to ask my daughter's or hubby to take me to the DRs since I gave up my drivres licens a few years back! It gets to where you don't even know if you can get to the appointments! Oh and these folks around here love to tell me that I don't need to go to the DR I'm just asking for symphoty!!!! (sp) It's not that I keep telling the but I need to go. Right they say I don't go to the Dr for every little pain when I go. No but you do seem to go every month to them when I only go when I know I need to! OK blown off enough steam!!!!! Sorry but just had a good fight over that!
I hope all is well with you and you find everything great when you get the lazer surgury done. Thank you for thinking of me so much! I do the same with you too!
