What is Treatment for a Diabetic With Macular Edema?

Posted By Patient Letter to the Editor On October 9, 2010 @ 11:42 pm In Diabetes,Patient Questions | Comments Disabled

I have been diagnosed with diabetes II that is controlled by diet and exercise (blood sugar readings are low (94-120 fasting).  About every 6 months, O.S. shows some edema/leakage via tomography and kenalog (steroid) is injected.

Any explanation for the macular edema despite the low levels of B/S readings?  A1c is 5.8
