...My annual check is on Friday, I can't help feeling a little worried!
 
Hope it goes well Phil. I always worry too, even though my control is pretty good. Main reason for my worry is that I have been to the eye hospital for the last three because of some changes close to the macula, although no treatment has been necessary as yet.

Urgh, I know - I think things to do with eyes make most people nervous. Good luck!
 
Fingers crossed it goes OK Phil. Bound to be sunny though - always is!
 
Just had mine last week..............I am signed up to the mydiabetesmyway website so I can access my results electronically, so I have been checking to see if they are up there first, nothing as yet........

They let my 2 year old come in to the examination room and press the buttons on the machine which was cool.........:D
 
We all worry, I'm sure it will all go well for you.

I always worry about this check, good luck for Friday! 🙂
 
Best of luck Phil, and yes, dont forget the sunglasses. I went last month for a normal eye test for specs, but the optician did photos as well, and driving home on the mobility scooter was fun😱
 
Good luck! Hope it goes well
 
...thanks for your support guys....funny, I've forgotten to take my sunglasses before too! 🙂
 
...got the all clear 🙂
