eye problem

I am type 2 and been diagnosed approx 8 years, take metformin, sitigliptin and dapagliflozin. For the past 4 years my Hba1c has been stable at 57 every year, my BP is perfect (take ramipril) and on my last check about 7 months ago my cholesterol was within a good range. I've just had my results...

I have diabetic retinopathy. I have been told they’re going to be doing a Fluorescein Angiography because my eyes are still blurry when they shouldn’t be. They said that if they find nothing that means there’s nothing they can do. Does that mean I will be going blind no matter what? Or will I...

Hi, I'm Stu. Was diagnosed as type one on Friday - I just assumed I was abit run down from a music festival and that a weekend of resting would put me back on my feet to go to work on Monday. Apparently not. Looking back over the last few weeks I can see the symptoms slowing happening...

Hi there, Any of you had this problem . Any idea what's going on ? I was very recently diagnosed as type 2 diabetic ( on 29/4/17 ) I am 49 and slim. When I was admitted to hospital it was because I had explained to my father ( who's a type 2 on insulin ) that recently I'd been feeling thirsty...
