Can anyone please confirm if long sight double vision be caused by diabeties ?

My Hb1ac was 7.4 2 months ago,recently I increased my insulin dosage to 20 Humulog x 3 & 16 Lantus x1 which reduced my insulin average on my meter to 6.6 - perhaps I injected too much ?

I recently had a short spell of double vision,has anyone else had this ? If so how did they correct it,was it due to diabeties ?

Not sure whether we diabetics are in the danger zone for Covid19,I ask the question @ which level are we more prone,high or low level ?

Thanks for your reply Squire . Here's a test .... What exactly is the Government target for diabetes sugar level ?

Is there such a thing as the above ? As much as the Diabetes web page is very useful& been a great help for me , it would be nice to have some somewhere for instant advice . Perhaps this could be manned by part time volunteers + 1 professional or retired Pro. Perhaps a limited charity shop who...
