[QUOTE="Julie702, post: 638422, member: 123390"] Hi [USER=128796]@colmac[/USER] Your story is like mine. I was diagnosed 5 weeks ago. Went straight on low carb diet and cut out all carbs. Sugar level came down from 19 at diagnosis to 6 or 7 within a week, and then my eyes went blurry. I waited another week or so and went to the optician. I explained what was going on with my blood sugar levels (armed with info from here) and he asked how long my blood sugar had been 'stable'. I told him about 10 days and he said that was fine and issued me with a new (expensive!) prescription. By the time the lenses arrived my long sight must have changed again as I can't read road signs until I am on top of them and last week thought a bin bag on the side of the road was a cat! I went back to the opticians a couple of days ago and had my eyes retested and (as many here might predict) was given a new long sight prescription (free thankfully!) Who knows if my eyes will have changed again by the time the new lenses arrive? I can only hope not :0) [/QUOTE]
