Hi Sandy,
I have had two bouts of HT, 3 years on Zoladex from 2007-2010 and 2 years on Prostrap 2014-2015.
In 2008 they decided I had type 2 diabetes, when I queried whether this had been brought on by Zoladex, my Consultant was quite forthright and said I had developed diabetes because I was fat!
For a time I had to take medication to treat the diabetes.
Subsequently I slimmed down, and my blood sugar levels fell within the normal range, but my surgery still has me on their books as diabetic, they say that despite having healthy normal blood sugar levels it is only because I manage my diabetes with my diet. I don't really agree because I guess if I was a new patient who walked in off the street, and they tested my blood, and found it normal, they would put me on their books as normal, but hey ho what do I know.
Anyway, the thing is that when you are listed as diabetic, you have to go for an annual eyetest, it's not particularly pleasant, they stick fluid in your eye to dilate the pupil, so they can photograph your retina. The preliminary part of the session involves the usual reading letters off the eyetest chart.
I had mine done last week, my eyesight unaided is 100%, I could read the lowest row of letters with no trouble.
So they you have it, 5 years of Zoladex/Prostrap and my eyes are still 100%, shame about the rest of me?
:)
