some might recall that six months ago after odin's last follow-up exam to keep track of any lingering effects from his retinopathy of prematurity that we discovered that he had started to show signs of nearsightedness.
and six months later it appears that his vision has continued to degrade and while he certainly still has sight, it's now entirely possible that he could be categorized as legally blind in both eyes with a prescription strength of -5.0 ( i can't remember exactly what visual acuity value that prescription corresponds to, but i believe it's worse than 20/200 - maybe somebody can correct me on that ).
as you can see, it's getting more and more difficult to accurately measure his vision since he's much more vocal about his displeasure with the dilation drops and bright lights being shone in his eyes so it's possibly that his vision isn't quite as bad as we might believe but at this point we're just going to assume that he'll require some form of corrective measures much sooner than later.
more positively his peripheral vision is "good" which is encouraging since it's not uncommon to completely lose the capability as a consequence of ROP induced damage to the retina and from the ROP surgery itself. and his retina also appears to be "on center" and not gradually being pulled to the side due to a complicated effect from the ROP scar tissue and the developing eye. if it were to begin being pulled off center odin might have to learn to live with people constantly wondering why he wasn't looking at them when they were talking, even though he was, in fact, looking right them.
i know some people were really hoping that odin's eyes would just get better, but we've been aware that this was a possible outcome and i'm sure odin will overcome whatever challenges result from his changing eyesight, even if it gets much worse which is more likely than not.

Cranberry fruit (Vaccinium macrocarpon, Ericaceae) has a long history of use, first by native Americans,and later by the true tea experts, the British. It grows on mountains, in the forests, and in the past ten years, it is cultivated on huge areas for commercial use. Fresh cranberry fruits are very similar to rosehip fruit, not only by appearance, but by taste as well. They have a sweet taste and a mild sour niche, and due to the tannin content affect the mucous tissue in the mouth. Cranberries are rich in antocians, proantocianides, flavonoides, organic acids, tannins, essential oils, fruit sugars and vitamins. They are a good source of vitamins A, C, B and folic acid.
Cranberry fruits contain ingredients that prevent the sticking of urinary bacteria to the mucous tissue of the urinary tract and by doing this, protect it from infections. It is especially recommended as a preventive measure for persons prone to this type of infections.
Due to the antioxidant properties, cranberries prevent illnesses that are a result of the damage of free radicals. They increase the HDL – cholesterol (good cholesterol fraction), lowering the risk of heart diseases by 40%.
Cranberries and the anticianosides have a positive effect on the eyes and significantly improve the symptoms of cataract and diabetics retinopathy.
It has antibacterial properties for the bacteria Helicobacter pylori as well (a bacteria that is the most common cause of stomach ulcer). Cranberries also prevent the development of dental plaque caused by bacteria in the mouth and prevent gingivitis.
Without any doubt, cranberries have a positive effect on human health, and the GOOD NATURE cranberry fruit tea will not leave you indifferent!

The eye is a beautiful and intricate organ. Enjoy!
This is quite a focussed shot of my macula. But you can see some of my laser burns around the edge. The dark spot is scar tissue from them. If you have the stomach for it, browse through google's images
I'm on my 34th year as a type 1 diabetic. I suffer from Diabetic Proliferative Retinopathy. The procedure I had was called panretinal photocoagulation. It is a simple yet insideous treatment. The problem is from the very tiny blood vessels in the eye getting damaged and clogged. They stem from the optic nerve, that bright spot, and spread throughout the eye. Eventually the peripheral tissue starts complaining about not being fed and emit proteins. These proteins signal the brain to grow new blood vessels. They grow, but they don't grow where they are supposed to. They branch out into the vitreous like a tree. As tehy are unsupported, they are weak and eventually hemmhorrage. That's where the blindness you read about happens. Blood will form scar tissue on the retina which is inherently unstable. It will eventually breakaway pulling the retina with it. Torn retinas are not easy to fix; though medicine has advance very far. What PRP does is basically kill much of the peripheral, the proteins stop, and the vessels shrivel up. This works very well. Some peripheral vision is sacrificed, but it's not that bad. Better than losing central vision!

Scary couple of days what with eye problems and hypos.....
Sunday night went to bed and suddenly noticed a weird shape/streak across the corner of my vision in my right eye. This might not have been quite so worrying if I hadn't got proliferative retinopathy. Retinopathy is a complication of diabetes, which as you may have guessed from what I've already said, affects the eyes, in particular the retina. There are initially no symptoms but if it is left untreated it can lead to partial and eventually total sight loss.
Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes and is the leading cause of blindness in adults under 65. It is estimated that 25% of people with type 1 diabetes will have some degree of diabetic retinopathy five years after their symptoms first develop. (www.nhs.uk)
Retinopathy is caused when the blood vessels in the retina become blocked or leaky, or grow haphazardly, which can damage the retina and prevent it from working properly. (http://www.diabetes.org.uk/). There is some really good information on the Diabetes UK website about retinopathy.... www.diabetes.org.uk/Retinopathy---is-your-vision-at-risk/
What is Proliferative Retinopathy? In this condition very small blood vessels grow from the surface of the retina. The retina is the film at the back of your eye and the tiny blood vessels are capillaries. These growing blood vessels are very delicate and bleed easily. Without laser treatment, the bleeding causes scar tissue that starts to shrink and pull the retina off, and the eye becomes blind. Laser treatment prevents blindness, but often some vision is lost. If you have had diabetes for years your retinae may develop this condition. As the retina is damaged by diabetes, the diseased retina releases special growth chemicals. These chemicals make tiny blood vessels grow: these are called 'new blood vessels'. medweb.bham.ac.uk/easdec/proliferative.html
I was first diagnosed with retinopathy roughly three years ago and since then have had extensive laser surgery on both eyes. At my last check up in January of this year they said that I didn't need any more laser as there hadn't been any further changes to the backs of my eyes and they had already done the maximum amount of laser "hits" that they usually do (about 3000 per eye). My next appointment for a check up is this Thursday.
I have had one of these "shapes" appear in my vision only once before, two days into our holiday in Goa in November 2008, which as you can imagine, was great fun!!! I made a frantic call to my local eye infirmary in the UK who advised that I get it checked immediately!!! I can't even begin to describe how terrifying it was to have to try and navigate the Indian medical system. Anyway, that's a different story....
This time I was a bit less paniced as I'm only 10 minutes from the eye infirmary, not a ten hour flight away!!! It wasn't as pronounced as the last one in Goa so I decided to see how it was in the morning. I have been getting a few blurry vision 'episodes' where everything seems a bit out of focus and also a few spots in my vision, (see the picture that goes with this post for a better idea of what I mean), which come and go and I have put that down to the dramatic change in my blood sugar results. When I saw my consultant (the wonderful Dr. Coates who said I could have the pump) he said he didn't want my hbA1c to decrease too quickly once I get the pump as it could affect my retinopathy so I'm guessing that as I've got better levels that I've ever had before it is having some affect on my eyes.
Monday morning and the shape/streak had faded a bit so I 'ummed and aahed' for ages about whether to bother going to the eye infirmary A & E or not. I decided to go and get it checked but by the time I had got myself showered and ready it had more or less faded all together and I decided to leave it until my check up on Thursday, unless it comes back.
I think that this time they will say I need to have some more laser done, obviously I'm just guessing but what with the recent blurriness and the 'streak' I got on Sunday night it looks as though there may be some changes going on in the back of my eyes (particularly the right one). But we'll have to wait and see......
Another scary thing today, I tested my sugars mid afternoon and it was 4.1 but it felt much lower so I grabbed a glass of milk. Less than ten minutes later and I felt awful, sweating, weak, confused, blurry vision etc. etc. so I tested again and it had gone down to 2.8. By this stage I could hardly hold my own head up so Gareth had to get me some chocolate and more milk. It was really lucky he was here with me as I don't know what I would have done otherwise. I couldn't get enough of the funsize Milky Way Magic Stars and no sooner had Gareth opened a packet for me I was demanding the next one (there's the stroppiness that accompanies a hypo - poor Gareth). As soon as I started to feel a bit more human, I got the usual shivers and felt freeeeeeezing cold (it was then I issued my demand for a duvet!!!) and wanted to do nothing but sleep. This was a particularly bad hypo for me as I don't think I can remember a time when I have dropped so quickly and I can't remember being as low as 2.8 for a long time. I can usually feel it coming on in plenty of time to get myself some glucose tablets or chocolate, but not today!!!
Anyway, I'm feeling ok again now (although my sugars have gone up to 12.3 and then 16.6)......but don't tell Gareth I'm feeling better because at the moment I've managed to get out of walking the dogs!!! Hypos are good for something after all......He he he!!! ;o)

the United Nations World Diabetes Day (UN WDD) was observed on the top of Taipei 101 during 11/14 to 11/18.
According to reports, diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death by disease globally. Every year, 3.8 million people die from diabetes-related causes such as diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease), diabetic eye disease (retinopathy and macular oedema), diabetic neuropathy (nerve disease), cardiovascular diseases among others.
Recognizing the need of raising awareness among the people about the disease, the United Nations decided to observe the UN World Diabetes Day on November 14 from 2007.

Ever wonder why the media is SO opposed to using hydroxychloroquine to treating the Corona Virus? I do..
I mean, it has been widely used to treat and prevent malaria for many decades. Suddenly it will kill you? That should come as quite a shock to everyone who was given a prescription to treat their auto-immune diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or for routine preparation for travel to malaria-infected parts of the world.
So why would educated people be so opposed to using it if it can help those suffering from COVID-19?
Because it would be almost as if President Trump had personally cured cancer and set us all free from our self-imposed quarantine. That’s why. And that cannot be allowed to happen. So they thrash about for reasons this medication can’t be used. They find incidents where it may or may not have caused heart problems. They discover that long-term use sometimes could cause retinopathy.
And they use the fact that it hasn’t been specifically tested in this exact setting – treatment of COVID-19 – as proof that is “untested”. By doing so, they imply that it’s an untested, unsafe medication, but you know they probably have some in their medicine chest at home, just in case..
But if you have nothing else that does help, and it’s a medication that is already widely used, isn’t it worth a shot in a crisis like this?

One simple but essential tool for managing diabetes is.....a diary!!!
Admittedly, as some of you will already know, I (stupidly) chose to ignore my diabetes for many years which included not going to hopital appointments but now I'm making up for it and I've got appointments coming out of my ears....
April 28th 2010 - First appointment at my new hospital (Stafford General) with my new dietician - When discussing the pump with my DSN (Diabetes Specialist Nurse) at my GP's I was told a couple of things about my usual hospital (New Cross, Wolverhampton) and the way that several patients she had referred for pumps had been treated so she suggested that I try Stafford Hospital instead as people seem to have more success there......that was all the persuading I needed to ask her to refer me to Dr. Coates at Stafford!!! The first lesson in carbohydrate counting with Mina, the dietician, went really well. I must admit I came away slightly daunted by this brand new way of doing things and more than a little bit nervous about getting it wrong. In order to get an insulin pump you need to be competent at carb counting so that you can give yourself the correct doses via the pump. I'm now keeping two diaries, one for appointments and as of 28th April, a food diary too!!!
May 13th 2010 - First meeting with Dr. Coates at Stafford Hospital. I certainly wasn't expecting a "yes" or "no" answer from him today about whether I could have a pump or not but that is exactly what we got....a big fat "YES".....fantastic!!!!!!! We discussed various things about insulin pumps and the motivation and commitment needed as there is a lot of hard work involved at the start. I also met Gill who will be my 'pump nurse'. I really couldn't get over the fact that I got an answer so quickly, especially after some of the stories I have heard/read about the real fight that people have had on their hands to get funding for one. I realise just how lucky I am to be accepted for a pump and am extremely grateful to Dr. Coates and his team for giving me the opportunity to try a pump and get on top of my diabetes.
June 10th 2010 - The scariest appointment by far....the eye infirmary. As you probably already know, I have diabetic retinopathy and have had a lot of laser surgery for it in the past. At my last check up in January the consultant said everything was fine and that I didn't need any more laser treatment....today however, was a different story. I had kind of guessed that something was going on with my eyes again and that I would need more laser but of course, secretly hoped that they would say everything was fine. The consultant said the 'streak / shape' I had in my vision on Sunday night was another bleed in the back of my eye and that new blood vessels have started to form in both eyes and starting to leak and therefore I need to have more laser treatment in both eyes. I thought if I needed any it would be in the right eye but hadn't expected to have to have some in both. I will have the right eye done first in about 6 weeks time. Going to try my best not to worry about it too much......for now anyway!!!
June 17th 2010 - This one is an insulin pump forum meeting I have been invited to by the hospital. I think it will be really interesting as I will be meeting people who are already on pumps....can't wait until I'm one of them!!!! :o)
June 19th 2010 - Lee and Claudia's Challenge.....although we can't be there in person I will be supporting them 'in spirit' and wearing blue in support of what they are doing!!! Wish we could be there to meet Lee, Angela, Claudia, Sarah, Roxana and all of the other wonderful, inspirational friends I have made recently in the DOC (Diabetic Online Community). Wishing you all the luck in the world guys!!!
June 22nd 2010 - Opticians. This is just a general sight test so nothing to worry about, unless I need new glasses, in which case finding the money will be a worry!!! :o)
June 23rd 2010 - Second appointment with dietician, Mrs. Crisp (that still makes me chuckle - great name for someone working with food). This one is going to be a group session which will be good. Would also like another one on one appointment with her though as I haven't been told about correction doses yet and still have quite a few questions and I don't want to take up the entire group session with my questions!!
June 24th 2010 - First appointment with Gill, my insulin pump nurse. I'm really quite looking forward to this one as it will be my first opportunity to really find out exactly how a pump works and probably actually get to handle one. She did tell me that initially she will be telling me all of the negative points about insulin pumps to see if I think I can cope with them and if I still think a pump is for me. I have done quite a bit of research and think I am definetly ready for the negatives because as far as I can see they are far outweighed by the positives!!! I already have a list of questions to ask which I'm sure I will be adding to before the 24th!!!
June 29th 2010 - First meeting of the group MyD, set up by Siobhan....can't wait to meet up with Siobhan and other diabetics as I've never really met any fellow suffers of the big D before. Will be really interesting to talk to people about their experiences.
Other things coming up this year include my sponsored walk for Diabetes UK on 12th September and possibly arranging to meet up with the people mentioned above in Birmingham some time this summer.
Also, thinking of all the other people out there who have had diabetes related appointments today (Lee and Angela/Claudia) - despite the bad news, frustrations, wanting to bang our heads against the wall etc. etc. we are all able to support each other, offer advice and kind words which keep us going.....until the next appointment that is!!! :o)
