I think I have the same symptom as yours: I see colours less clearly and sometimes I can hardly focus on things :/

I can't really explain it's like everything's spinning all that i'm not actually there! If that makes any sense? lol
Honestly i don't even know lol because I can't explain it ahaLike rapid eye movement while awake...? Not had that one..
But about 6 years ago I kept falling down when my vision rocked to a 45 degree angle like being on a ship & I'd fall over..
I went to the doctors because I fell into a fridge at work & I was starting to get prety bruised up from the falls....
He said the D word.. I said nope, I know a hypo when I get one.
The cause was an inner ear infection affecting my balance..!
Accidentally gave extra insulin for breakfast this morning, leading to a blood sugar of 1.9. My eyesight was what alerted me to it. It was like someone had shone a torch in my face, I was practically blind until the dextrose kicked in.
Hello,
So today I have now had 3 hypo's.....need to change my basals back but I have a new symptom...I believe....basically my eyes go funny....but I can't really describe how they go...it's hard to explain....so yeah maybe this is a pointless post lol sorry

Hello All,
I have been a type 1 for over 50 years, and have found that different types of insulin, have given me different types of reactions when entering a hypo. Many years ago when i was on animal insulin you would get tingling of the skin around your mouth and tongue, when i went to the first lot of synthetic it was very different, blurred vision was one of the early signs and my wife could see that i was go into hypo,she said that my eyes would get a glassy look to them, if the hypo was a bad one i would start to get the shakes, and skin color would go white, and eventually start slurring my words. In 2010 they put me onto 2 new insulin's and for 4 weeks i could not feel hypos coming on, even in hospital i was 1 on three occasions and knew nothing about , after 4 weeks later they told me to back onto my old insulin, which i did, Recently they have changed my insulin again and i now have a whole new set of sensations to learn, i now sweat profusely, and the bit i do not like is i have developed palpitations and chest pains when entering a hypo state. There are many little signs that we all learn to recognize, and these are very important, the main issue i have found with the newer insulin's is that you do not have the same flexibility with the time as i use to have with the older animal insulin's. I hope you may find my experience helpful in some way.
Best Regards
and Good Health to All
Toby.
