I am wondering if anyone else has had floaters and eye problems due to diabetes?

I just wonder if anyone has any similar experiences with the above, and may be offer some reassurances. Before my diabetes, was under control, I apparently had bleeding in my eye due to high blood pressure and high blood sugar. I started having problems with floaters about two months ago. Several times when they emerged, I had blurred or foggy vision for a few days, but then it dissipated. The day after Thanksgiving I had some more bleeding in the eye, although I don’t know why. Since then, my vision has not cleared up. I have been to two different eye doctors, both of whom tell me I just have to wait for it to clear up, and that it may take a while.

I am pretty depressed over how long this is taking. My Christmas vacation is coming up, and I don’t even know if I will be able to enjoy myself, doing the things I love to do…reading, sewing, etc. I have been able to work, but everything is a struggle. On top of that, I don’t think people understand how much this is affecting my psyche. I don’t drive much, and am afraid to drive very far, especially at night. The things I do that I take joy in, including singing at church, on virtually inaccessible to me right now because of my vision.

I just don’t know how to deal with all this…sorry about the novel long post…
