I have around 7 'spots' total in both eyes - 31 years of diabetes.
I had a detached retina that needed to be lasered from my fighting days, not D related.
I was diagnosed with Macular Edema by 3 physicians 'eye balling it'. On the tests I made them do there was no physical evidence that I had MA. The tests where:
Florecent Angiogram -- peeing after this one is weird. Your urine turns BRIGHT carrot orange. It's pretty trippy after staring at lights most of the day. Its a non painful, and very easy test imo.
Optos Retina Scan - best thing since sliced bread for the retinas imo. I really hope you can get this done Beth.
I can't remember the name of the last test, but basically what they do is measure with a laser the 'swelling' that is occuring with the macula - it came back perfect.
My kidneys are what I worry about more
.
Isn't diabetes just so fun? If the sex, drugs, and rock and roll wont kill me, there is always the sugar.
