Best of luck Alan 🙂
 
Good luck Alan, got fingers crossed for you x
 
I hope everything goes/has gone okay today Alan. Got my fingers crossed for you. You have excellent control so I'm hoping that will make a difference. XXXXX
 
Good luck Alan, hope all goes well. ((((Hugs))))
 
Really wish you the best of luck and hope you have a good result with no change.

I have everything crossed.🙂
 
Good luck Alan
 
Big good luck from me
 
Thanks everyone 🙂 All sorted. No changes from last time, although he did say there was some slight thickening that might need lasering if it gets any worse. Told me to avoid big fluctuations in control (no - really? 🙄)

Not sure how much he knew about diabetes though - he asked me three times if I was on insulin, then worked out that I was 49 at diagnosis so he said I must be Type 2. I said no, I am Type 1 and he asked if I had been on tablets before insulin. Obviously one of those who thinks you can't be Type 1 over 40! 😱
 
Glad you got on ok. My eye prob was near the macula and that's why they lasered it. I also know the feeling of being taken to be type 2 - nurse at recent clinic said "Are you on insulin" er yes - for 35 years!
 
Glad it's good news for you Northerner.

Surely it's better that clinic staff ask, rather than assume?!? The truth is that the ratio of type 2:type 1 is about 9:1. And it is much more common to be diagnosed type 2 than type 1 in adulthood. Still, it can be irritating.
 
Glad it all went well 🙂
 
glad to hear your eyes are no worse Alan - one worry over
 
Really pleased that it went well Northener, I can now uncross everything:D

It was clear from the way he was asking that he thought I didn't know what type I was, and that type ones couldn't be diagnosed so late in life.
 
Glad to hear your fears weren't bourne out, Alan, one less thing to worry about (until the next time ?). Oh dear, what problems we "not true to type" diabetics make for the "professionals" but at least you've been able to broaden his knowledge !
