Hello Meli, welcome to the forum. I can understand that the retinotherapy result is upsetting. It will be good to see the doctor and find out what it means, but at least finding it early is very good, and will give the best chance of getting help if it is needed it yet. It may just be at the stage where it needs to be monitored. I had this scare once and on the next test it had gone again.
It sounds as if you are doing very well indeed overall with good results on your August check. Have you had Type 2 for very long?
Have you got a particular eating plan that you follow? If not there are some ideas if you look on the thread on advice for Newbies.
Juggling stressful work demands with trying to follow a healthy lifestyle is certainly very difficult, but it is very important to try to keep those stress levels down, as they will not be good for you and will effect your blood sugars.
It is difficult to suggest things with out knowing much about your lifestyle, but what helps me at such busy time is setting aside some time to make an eating plan, and make sure that I've done the shopping to ensure that I have some quick and easy things to make or something in the freezer.
Then when I come home in a tired and stressful state, I'd make a simple omelette with a salad, or may be some cooked chicken and a few veggies out of the freezer. Then sit and eat and RELAX. Exercise is also a good de-stresser, and helps with diabetes. Not something you can easily do at the end of a stressful day, but maybe have a think if there is a way to fit a walk into your day somewhere. It will give you some headspace as well.
I hope it goes well with your visit to the doctor. Please let us know how it can goes and any questions we can help with
