Improved vision

[annele373]

Hi everyone

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about a week ago, and I was told I'd had it for a couple of months.

For 2 or 3 years I have been wearing contact lenses (-4.25 dioptres).

A few days ago I noticed that my sight has drastically improved. I have not been able to find any info about this, so maybe some of you have experienced or heard something like this.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

it's the 'sugar' leaving your lens and such, it makes it swell.
your T1 has been coming on for a few years, is my guess

welcome and ask lots of questions, it's a shock to the system and it can be scary at first.

Sounds very odd as type 1 generally comes on much quicker unlike type 2 which can go undiagnosed for years, see (pardon the pun) it as one good thing that has come out of your diagnosis

I usually wear glasses for reading and driving. But for a few days before diagnosis as type 1 when i had glasses on everything was blurry but without them was crystal clear. For a few years before i use to get really sore eyes like hayfever but now i dont.

I had the symptoms for a few months but didn't realize something was wrong :/

Jack412's comment is spot on.

Your prescription can go all over the place when your sugars are a bit haywire.

Are you saying your prescription has gone down from -4.20DS??

Yes, but not much. And it's slowly going back to -4.25
