You have to controll your fasting blood sugar below 120 as you have nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy.tell me ur drugs. I will guide you. Tight controll will sloe the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Check your urea,creatinine and urine albumin. Your drugs should be adjusted according to that.
