Just to answer some questions asked about the hemmorhage. When it started, it looked like a big reddish blob at about 10 o'clock in my vision, sort of blotting out that area of sight. Of course, it was a weekend, but got into the eye dr. first thing the following Monday. It didn't move around, didn't "settle" anywhere. I think I have more floaters now, so maybe as it's dissolving, it becomes little pieces of "lint" in the vitreous.  Anyway, that blob is gone now.

 

Hemmorhages in the eye can happen any time to a diabetic. That's why they recommend annual eye exams, although my eye dr. always tells me if something happens, call right away. You can get bleeding right into the vitreous and that Really causes a loss of sight! My diabetic cousin has had that happen. My one optomistrist told me that sometimes when he exams people and sees hemmorhages, he'll ask them if they're diabetic, and if they say no, he'll tell them they should get checked out. Sometimes the eye changes are the first complication to happen in un-diagnosed people.
