Hi there guys. I got diagnosed T2 in early May after a blood test I requested as I was exhausted all the time. My Hba1c was 82. I was utterly terrified and stopped eating from shock and also as I was scared my blood sugar would go even higher. After a couple of days I noticed my eyesight becoming blurry. I got an extended eye test from my optician which examines everything in great detail, including the retina. I was relieved to hear everything was normal. But my eyesight got blurrier, I had to stop wearing my distance glasses and now wear my reading glasses, but even they seem a bit blurry now. I can get about ok, but am finding it very worrying and am anxious. Rachox was very kind to me last night and explained that it's to do with fluctuating glucose levels so it may take a while for this to sort itself out, but it's causing me such high anxiety.
Has anyone else had this? How long approximately does it take to sort itself out? Is there anything I can do to help it? Until Rachox helped me last night I was terrified I was going blind.
I am eating again now, following a low carb diet, keeping carbs under 50g a day. I am going to start metformin tomorrow. I really want to reverse this diabetes.
My optician has ordered me new glasses with a new prescription but I think my prescription is in a state of flux at the mo and don't know whether I should wait?
Thank you so much for reading this, I appreciate any advice/ support.
