hi all, I hope everyone is well.
I’ve posted in here before, but I really need someone’s advice/reassurance.
since I stopped drinking crazy sugar drinks, wine, smoking etc which were really damaging my health (I was very ignorant towards my diabetes as a teen and now dearly regret it), my eyesight is now awful.
My first wake up call was when my vision became impaired, but now I’ve stopped the sugar intake (my overall bloods have come down miraculously fast), my eyes are terrible! It’s been at least 6 months or more now. Everything is grainy, pixelated and when I wake up I can barely see!! The head of the eye screening at the hospital said that because my bloods were uncontrolled for many years that my brain is trying to get used to the change, but it’s been 6 months!! I’m very worried, I am 19 years old and feel as though I’m losing my vision rapidly, but every doctor I tell says it’s nothing they can sort! Anyone who’s had eye problems due to blood glucose control please help me, I feel so trapped and lonely thanks in advance x
