Generally I don’t start anymessage with “Hi, I have type 1 diabetes – for 23 years now and I am 32 yearsold” but considering the site I am on and since this is my very first postingof any sort, it seems like the best way to start.

I am hoping for some enlightenmenton retinopathy - but not just the regular stuff of what it is, why does itoccur or what treatments are available, as I am not looking for the genericinformation – what I do need is real life answers on a more advanced level.
