I'm asking purely out of curiosity. Did anyone else experience temporary remission of non-diabetic short/long-sightedness after they were started on insulin?
It's normal for eyesight to deteriorate due to dehydration in the months leading up to diagnosis, and this should reverse once on insulin. I'm not talking about this.
I'm talking about longstanding vision problems not related to diabetes that improved or disappeared for a while after starting insulin.
I have myopia (short-sightedness) which got worse in the few months prior to diagnosis and then completely disappeared once I was diagnosed. After a month or two the myopia returned. I wonder why?
