Group I - Monthly
Enrolled subjects will receive multiple open-label intravitreal injections of 0.3 mg ranibizumab administered every 28 days (+/- 7 days from the last treatment) for 12 months in the monthly group. Ranibizumab: Monthly injections of Intravitreal Ranibizumab 0.3 mg for 12 months in patients previously treated with Avastin for Diabetic Macular Edema.
Group II - Treat-and-Extend
Enrolled subjects will initially receive 3 loading doses of open-label Ranibizumab 0.3 mg given via intravitreal injection every 28 days (+/- 7 days from the last treatment). After the third loading dose, the follow-up interval is determined by the Principal Investigator based on OCT results as stated in the protocol. The follow-up interval is increased by 2 weeks (+/- 7 days) at each visit up to a maximum interval of 12 weeks (+/- 7 days). There is criteria built into the protocol in case a reduction in the follow-up intervals becomes necessary based upon worsening OCT results. Ranibizumab: Three Monthly injections of Intravitreal Ranibizumab 0.3 mg in patients previously treated with Avastin for Diabetic Macular Edema. Then follow-up visits may be extended by 2 weeks for a total of 12 months.

Measure
Group I - Monthly
n=15 participants at risk
Enrolled subjects will receive multiple open-label intravitreal injections of 0.3 mg ranibizumab administered every 28 days (+/- 7 days from the last treatment) for 12 months in the monthly group. Ranibizumab: Monthly injections of Intravitreal Ranibizumab 0.3 mg for 12 months in patients previously treated with Avastin for Diabetic Macular Edema.
Group II - Treat-and-Extend
n=12 participants at risk
Enrolled subjects will initially receive 3 loading doses of open-label Ranibizumab 0.3 mg given via intravitreal injection every 28 days (+/- 7 days from the last treatment). After the third loading dose, the follow-up interval is determined by the Principal Investigator based on OCT results as stated in the protocol. The follow-up interval is increased by 2 weeks (+/- 7 days) at each visit up to a maximum interval of 12 weeks (+/- 7 days). There is criteria built into the protocol in case a reduction in the follow-up intervals becomes necessary based upon worsening OCT results. Ranibizumab: Three Monthly injections of Intravitreal Ranibizumab 0.3 mg in patients previously treated with Avastin for Diabetic Macular Edema. Then follow-up visits may be extended by 2 weeks for a total of 12 months.
