Tablets (oral)
So I've been on my treatement for a week now and I've noticed my visions started to get more blurry. My visions never been perfect as I need glasses for reading but things seem to be getting more blurry when they're not on and people's faces are blurry and they never were before. A friend of mine who's a doctor says this can happen with diabetics when they fired start treatment. Anyone have this as well as it's kind of scary.

it can be because your eyes are used to a very high level of blood glucose, the eyes can not follow the speed you change in , so maybe you should slow a bit down in progress... but it will almost always be better as soon as your eyes has also gotten the same level of blood glucose as the rest of your body and gotten used to it...

people are warned of not getting new glases when going down in blood glucose... but you should be aware if it can affect security if you drive a car..
 
When sugar levels are on the way up you tend to become more short sighted. On the way down close vision is especially affected, although distance can be too particularly at the start. Buy a pair of ready readers from a pound shop to correct this temporary effect. It is usually gone within 6-8 weeks. For most eyesight returns more or less back to how it was originally although some experience a greater shift.
 
My eyes altered some time after I had my blood sugar well under control. The optician said the diabetes had probably been masking the problem ( long sightedness). I now have glasses.
