| Eyes, exercise and the future
Ok, i admit to not reading up enough on the eye issue, on this forum that is. But i need to ask.
Diagnosed in december 06, i've had a1c's in the 5's since then. I workout with weights a lot and exercise.
Now, i think i will have pretty good control my a1c's in the future as well. I had my eyes checked a few weeks ago, and they said one of them was normal but the other might have had a slight growth of veins. they told me to come back in 2 years.
Now, if i were to keep my A1c's around 5-6, and continue this lifestyle, how likely is it that i will develop retinopathy(if that is growth of the veins in the eyes)? I have read that weightlifting is not recommended if you have this, and it makes me wonder wether lifting can cause it, or make it worse?
Any knowledge from you guys is appreciated...
