Good luck for tomorrow Alan
 
Fingers crossed Alan!
 
Good luck and all the best😎
 
Everything crossed - hope all goes ok-sending positive thoughts
 
And the conclusion is...

1. it was all a storm in a teacup and you don't need treatment after all
! :D

Got there in plenty of time for appointment, had the drops and scan then waited 45 mins to see consultant. He looked at my eyes and said the immortal words 'you can hardly tell you're diabetic, whatever it is that you are doing, keep doing it'! 🙂 He said there was some slight scarring but it is very stable and I just need to go back in 9 months. If it is still the same then I will be discharged back to normal annual screening.

Hurrah! Thanks for all your good wishes people, they obviously worked! 🙂
 
Really pleased to hear this Alan 🙂 🙂
 
Really brilliant news, I am so pleased for you
 
I'm very pleased to say , I told you so .🙂
 
Fantastic news Alan, so pleased for you.
 
Thanks everyone 🙂 I'm sure it's a wind-up by the consultants, this has been going on for 3 years now! 🙄 When I went in June they obviously thught they'd seen something, yet today's consultant (don't think I've seen the same one twice) seemed to have trouble believing I'm even diabetic 🙄 Still, not complaining about people being cautious where my sight is concerned 🙂
 
What a relief. I'm glad they're being careful, but still...
 
Great news, you must be very relieved 🙂
 
That's a big relief for you. 🙂 🙂 🙂
