So, in your eyes, or in your feet, you haven't had any diabetic symptoms?
When my diabetes started, then my eyes had become very red. So, our family doctor, he had noticed himself. That, in my eyes, he felt there was something, so he said to me, “We need to test your eyes, so if you have time, then come, come to my clinic”. So I went, so they tested my eyes very carefully. And straightaway, he sent me to the hospital, that, “As quickly as you can, get an appointment for yourself”. So I got an appointment, and then my eyes, they had to laser them. They said that, you know how you can have clots at the back? That's what had happened, so they did that twice, but then since then it hasn't come back, because I've got my diabetes under control. So that's why the clots didn't come back.
So how long ago was this?
It's been 10 years now. So not again, they haven't had to do the laser again. I go every six months for a check-up. And they say, “It's fine”, so, if you control it then your eyes stay fine. They had lasered my husband's eyes too, and now, it's quite a while and it hasn't happened again. Because, we don't eat sweets and all. |
