"Sorry for the eye floater situation, Karen. I am glad to read that it is likely age related, not something wrong. If they are really bad and your vision is impaired then the options include:
Using a laser to dissolve floaters. During laser therapy,…"

Kathlyn replied to Karen's discussion 'Now what??'"I think you're in very good shape too. I'm 65 and been diabetic for 56 years this month. In 1997 I had cataracts removed and in 2011 floaters started appearing again in my left eye so my retinologist performed out-patient laser surgery and…"
Babaika replied to Karen's discussion 'Now what??'"I was diagnosed with Type 1 in 1969, retinopathy in 1975. I have been under the care of a retina specialist for the last 30 years and have only minor problems with my vision. (I have had three laser treatments and have 20/20 vision in my right eye…"
acidrock23 replied to Karen's discussion 'Now what??'"That sounds great! It's not totally out of the question to have visual things that aren't related to diabetes and may just be wear and tear or whatever. I got MrsAcidRock an iPad for mother's day b/c it seemed so alarming the way…"
Karen posted a discussionNow what??
I have been diabetic for 46 years and this past November got my first bad eye exam. MD was not too concerned, he said it was a small dot (whatever that means).In April I developed floaters in the same eye, out of my mind with fear. Went to eye MD again and he said nice to see you Karen but you are here too soon and what name did you give this. I said floaters, he said boring name (I thought how about WTF, floaters.)He dilated my eyes and said nothing had changed, then he laid me down and really…See More

Toddy replied to Karen's discussion 'Your Goal'"My goal is to always be between the 70-140 range. So I will check prior to meals and two hours after. If they fall between those numbers then I know I adjusted insulin doses correctly. But if I have something like 150, two hours later, then…"

My little Avery

My niece Avery is 4 years old and today I was at her house helping her parents pack up their home to move, way sad, but Avery makes life wonderful.
About a month ago her parents hooked up a little back bike, not sure what it is called, to her mom's bike and she was so scared to try it, but I finally talked her into it and now she can't get enough of it. I finally talked her into it that day and she wanted Auntie Karen to do the front bike riding, but I was really messed up that day… Continue

My niece and nephew in GA Cameron and Carson lost their 14 year old puppy today, Seamus.
We had many great beach vacations with her as she was always running circles around us when we walked the beach to make sure we were safe. She was a great dog and I will miss her. I saw her a year ago and she was struggling big time, but she still managed to bring me a toy to mess with her.…
