Re: [IP] floaters
Good advice, Steve. I have my eyes checked at Joslin annually - with or without
symptoms. I would not think of having them checked by anyone other than a
diabetes specialist.

For years I went to an ophthalmologist and them my Endo suggested I see
someone at the Joslin. They took pictures of the veins in my eyes after
injecting dye and showed me where the bleeding had been happening for a
while. I think it pays to see someone who deals with a lot of diabetics
because they know what to look for.
