[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 988619, member: 52972"] Bob C, I have type II diabetes from exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. I have been on an insulin pump for going on 5 years and it has really made a hugh difference. It dropped my H1C from 9.1 to about 5.6 The biggest effect of diabetes for me has been my eyes and bleeding retinas. That has all been resolved now with 7 surgeries over a 2.5 year period. It started with 3 laser surgeries to cut off the bleeding retina blood vessels, then that was followed by 2 Vitrecomies to change the bloody clotted fluid in both eyes, and finally cataract surgery to both eyes. Vitrectomy surgery generally creates cataracts within 6-12 months. I have gone from 20/200 in one eye to about 20/25....nearly normal. I have not had to wear glasses for nearly 3 years now. I just passed my drivers license vision test and only need to wear glasses to read.....not to bad for an old fart that turned 66 earlier this week.:grin: ...Rich [/QUOTE]
