Is it a virtual certainty that if you have diabetes you will develop retinopathy?

It's not a certainty at all. Keep your glucoses under control & you reduce the risks significantly. You should have your eyes checked by a specialist once a year, so that the early signs of retinopathy can be spotted & if necessary, treated.
That said, the longer you have the lurgy, the more chance you have of all complications. Retinopathy is usually the first to be spotted, because the damage can actually be seen. With other complications, the effects have to be detected before anything can be done.
It can be treated, initially, with lasering of the retina. This stings, but removes the new blood vessels that have grown. It's not that bad, just uncomfortable. If the retinopathy develops further & becomes proliferative, you may have to have an operation to clean up the retina.
The key is to keep testing & pay attention to what it tells you. Hope this helps & hasn't freaked you

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/mO93k
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

No not at all - providing you keep to the care plan your health care team advise you - then you should be OK. In the older days it was probably more common place for people with diabetes to get complications - but things have come on in a big way.
