Shadow replied to Heidi98's discussion 'lasar after cataract surgery/lens implants' in the group Diabetics With Eye Problems"I think they can re-cloud if anything is left in there. I had a doctor use the YAG on both of my eyes, yet both still had quite a bit of clouding. Then another doctor went in and redid my left eye and it was good for over 10 years. I was just told…"
lasar after cataract surgery/lens implants
Some 13 years ago, I had cataract surgeries and interocular lens implants put into both eyes. Over time, those lenses have re-clouded over and are now almost completely clouded over. (they fix that by using a YAG lasar to burn a hole through) Has anyone had this done,& was there any pain/funky vision issue afterwords? (and can they recloud over even after its done) I'm a little nervous about it.See More

A Few of My Favorite Things(D-style)

A1c’s high, and my eye doctors frown
It’s getting to me, man, its got me quite down
Cream jelly doughnuts will help me along
And give me the boost age to finish this song.
Guys in white dress shirts with blue stripe-ed ties
Invoke palpitations (and a great deal of sighs)
Still being young, man, I’m out on Spring Fling
These are a few of my favorite things.
DC traffic (as it’s ridin’ my bumper)
Iphones and itunes and insulin… Continue

Unload time...well, I went to see my endo and my a1c has come down quite a bit. Not under 7, but that is my goal for next time. Having said that, life gets in the way...I've started up a new exercise routine and have thus far managed to find time to drag myself to the gym twice a week. Yeah, I should do it more but I think twice a week beats not at all! My blood sugars are pretty stable during the workouts but several hours later, as I'm recovering from the feelings of being hit by a Mack truck… Continue

Haven't posted in awhile. School stuff has kept me really busy. (yay, for a few weeks of sanity) Celebrated D-day number 10 on December 10. Of course, it was a final exams day so I really didn't paint the town red but I savored the "treat" I'd gotten for myself(a Wendy's Frostie and chicken salad). I don't feel like a newbie at all now, there's something about putting your diabetes in the double digits.

Status quo here. I am seeing a nephrologist on a regular basis, getting magnesium infusions three times a week but hoping to cut down on that soon. I may have to get a port surgically implanted but the meds(amiloride) is supposed to cut down on the wasting and I am really hoping my veins hold out. Thank you guys for your thoughts and prayers.
