I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1994. So I\u2019ve had it 23 years now.<\/p>\n
I started with the Noctura mask in October 2016, having crowd funded to raise the money to afford it. I\u2019m a self employed massage therapist, working with the disabled and people with chronic health conditions,\u00a0also dementia.<\/p>\n
I had been diagnosed with pre-prolific retinopathy and macular oedema, which they wanted to laser. My first three months with the mask I learnt only had contact with my eyes 48% of the time. So I tightened it. Next six months 95 and 98% respectively. I also worked hard at bringing my blood sugars down, from an HbA1c of 64 to 57, using pycnogenol and a lot of spinach, as advised!<\/p>\n
I went with trepidation to my next appointment at the eye clinic, was surprised and over the moon to discover my macular oedema had almost gone, and my pre-prolific retinopathy was now moderate and stable!! Over the moon didn\u2019t come close!! No treatment needed, they said!! I will carry on with the mask as long as I can raise the money to afford it, and am so incredibly grateful I heard about it\u2026 on Facebook of all places!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":284,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/noctura.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/testimonial\/283"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/noctura.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/testimonial"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/noctura.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/testimonial"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/noctura.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/noctura.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
