Christ. Eye problems. [View all]

Type 1 diabetic. Awakened at 1230AM with low glucose alarm. Woke up and ate something.

Noticed a blind spot at that time in my left eye vision. Didn't worry too much about it, since I usually get spotty vision when glucose drops too low.

Woke up this morning, blind spot is worse.

Recently had cataract surgery. Called cataract doc answering service. Left message with his office. Got a call back by some local eye doc rep, she said it seems like a retina problem rather than front of the eye.

Called my retina doc. Screwed up voicemail would not accept messages.

Trying to figure out what to do.

That's my complaint for today.

Sitting here worrying like a bastard. I'll go to the ER if it gets worse.

just unloading, no need for a response.

have a nice day.
