i've been diabetic for 15 years, during that time it was largely uncontrolled due to misdiagnosis (they thought i was type 2, but i'm actually insulin dependent). im only in my mid 20's and i;'ve already had retinopathy with laser surgery, i have cataracts growing, and recently i had some spot bleeds in my eyes again. i'm also beginning early peripheral neuropathy. a lot of this has happened since my sugars have come under control! can anyone explain this? any advice is welcome.
