A few years back while at the eye doctor I was about to get my peeperrs examined by the doctor. To back track diabetes was taking away my eyesight and well to make a long painful story short it was the beginging of 21 laser eye surgeries and two vetrectomies. Well any hooo(how) the doctor grabed at his right eye and shouted! Quick don't move I lost my contact lens! Well he went on to examine my peepers contactless in right eye. The examination went OK. But the prognosis went bad. Certain blindness is imenent in my case w/o eye surgeries.

So forlorned from the abundant dismal news I decided to call it a day and take a nap. When I got home I took off my shoe and noticed stuck to the tread groove was the eye doctors contact lens.

After 21 laser surgeries I went blind anyway. Blood vessels leaked out into the vetrious humor occluding my vision in the right eye. I was in the nursing program. I was kicked out because i could not see out of that eye. Then about a week later the blood vessel broke in the left eye. I was almost comepletely blinded from the blood. So I had to get a vetrectomy in the right eye to drain the blood. The surgery was succesful but quite painful. As the right eye was getting it's vison back the left eye was getting worse. So later that year at Christmas time I had a vetrectomy in the left eye.

Moral of this story, don't get diabetes, diabetes sucks!

Is this a true story?

It's very funny in parts, but if it is true then I extend my sympathies.

Take care...

That sucks the big one, bro. How is your vision now? How are your Glucose levels?

i got new glasses today and i can see out of them real good. Before i could not see the periods when typing or reading. Yes it is a true story. I regained most of my vision. There are still wavy distortions likely from the surgeries.

Kingpole...this is such a sad story bro! I just want you to know you have already made a difference in my life by helping me with my many question and replying to all my emails. Glad your here to help us and Im very glad your sight has returned at least to some degree!

Yes, being science officer, you need them peepers. We have to have another adventure. Vision getting any better now that you have had your new glasses for awhile?

I have upped the ginkgo biloba to 300mg per day, now my glasses seem to be to strong. they give me heaaches and i don't have to wair sun glasses as much. Ginkgo along with green tea is great for diabetic retinopathy and macualr degeneration. I have diabetic retinopathy. I have climbed a notch in vision. i can see the leaves clearly on the trees and each blade of grass.

And when I look at my erect dick it looks huge!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes I also trimmend my pubes so that could also make things down south appear bigger as well.

I know your story with the diabetes, Kingpole, but I didn't realize you lost part of your vision to diabetes as well. It's an insidious disease, for sure. God bless you and all your efforts to help others in spite of your disability. I've lost a lot of vision to NTP = Normal Tension Glaucoma. But after four eye surgeries, I'm doing great, especially with my new inserts. But the diabetes wolf is always howling at my door.

Keep truckin', pal. My blood glucose is well under control. I love that green tea stuff!! Whohooo!! I have to tell you that keeping our solid woodies is a great motivational device for those of us with diabetes.

Noting like a solid woody. I have added 1000mg of billberry to my pill regimen it seems like my vision has improved a bit.
