[QUOTE="Sucre Bleu, post: 998765, member: 204443"] Poor lady, sounds ,as tho her vision failed quite fast, for me it was over a longer period of time. I also had a couple of burnout periods like many, never been a drinker tho so my periods of disinterest in my diabetes sound a bit tamer. My dad was also a type 1 for most of his life, but unlike me had basically no complications. I once asked the specialist why I had all the issues, and he said it was because of 5 pregnancies. It as interesting to read her description of what she can see, I also see sparkles, and outlines of people but no detail, my computer is modified so I can use it, night blindness, lack of depth perception, glaring bright lights, and sometimes if I close my eyes I see things like a projector on my eyelids, that's memory I think. It was distressing to read shes forgotten what she looks like [/QUOTE]
