#diabetic — Public Fediverse posts

More eye examinations today. Left eye injection now tomorrow for the #diabetic #retinopathy with private laser on the cataracts next week followed by NHS laser 3 months later for the macular swelling. Progress at last. After next week I may have more than 50% of my vision back in my left eye!

If #BigPharma are further encourage to manufacture #weightloss #drugs, they will persist in creating a shortage of #noninsulin #injectable #diabetic #medication.
#Diabetics are not able to get their #prescribed #GLP1 because of the focus on #magical #jabs for #weight management. Stopping these #drugs means weight gain unless you can control #eating without them & that was the problem in the first place!
