Routine screening

• Retinopathy should be assessed by an
  Ophthalmologist at diagnosis and then once every
  year if normal,
• If not normal, the specialist will tell you what
  to do,
• Remember, it is too late when diabetic retina
  affects vision you need to catch the train in
  the correct time.
