Background retinopathy

[New-journey]

My retinal scans are done by the "Diabetes Retinal Screening Service". They are not my diabetes team but you'd hope with "diabetes" in their title, they'd know a bit about it.
I believe they know enough about diabetes to do their job but not enough about human nature to word their letters.
It is a shame they are not synched up with the diabetes teams.

Same with me! Well put and I will be helping them with human nature! Strangely the woman who did my test said everything looks great and said how well I was doing and I would never need to worry with such good control!

A month into my Type 1 I was unfortunate enough to be diagnosed with diabetic macular oedema requiring numerous eylea injections and 2 years later at a check up I was told I required lasering to both for proliferative retinopathy and booked in for ir straight away, I'd almost be glad if all I'd ever received over the years was a background letter no matter how it was worded but then again I've never had the chance to have an annual screening with not being discharged from ophthalmology xx

I feel bad now that I panicked when you have had to deal with so much more. I hope you are doing better. xx
