Diabetes: Retina specialist

I had a hemmorage in my left eye due to retinopathy and the eye dr. is sending me to a retina specialist Friday to see what can be done about it. This is the first time since diagnosis of retin. that I've had a problem. I got diag. with diabetes last August and retin. in Sept. Very scared about it-and reading up on possible treatments didn't help-does it ever? Has anyone else had any experience with this? Was feeling good at end of May my A1c was 6.4 down from 12 last August. Woke up Wednesday and had what I would describe as a sunspot in my field of vision. Thanks everyone for responding.
