Gina,
Thank you for your post. As a diabetic for 33 years i always put off my eye exams "Like you", Ha Ha. Well I was worried about my right eye because it was really red for a week and I had this raised white, like calcium looking bump.
Well every thing was "OK", but I would not have put up with a doctors action as such.
I have been through allot of endo's because of there lack of patient interaction and for that mater, lack of clearly explaining any outcome.

Why would that be a "horror" of an eye appointment. He obviously meant to read the pamphlet AFTER your eyes return to normal. Are you kidding me? If he found something he's a great doctor. The first doctor I went to FAILED to tell me I had a leakage - even when I told him I saw this huge spot in front of my left eye. 6 months later, I went to another eye doctor who said I HAD a leakage. By the way, I had only had Type 2 for 3 years at that point. Be grateful your doctor found something. Just because you don't like the news, does not mean your doctor is bad.

Goodness, he sounds like a real creep. A leak is scary, and he did nothing to sooth you!! Yes, go see your "real" eye doctor - and try not to worry. After 29 years, my eye doc found my first leak about a year ago. After six months, it cleared up but there was a leak in the other eye. She said as long as they don't change and there are no more, we don't need to worry. We just need to keep a close watch on them. I'm sure your doc will say the same. Fingers crossed that it just clears up soon!!
