Fenn, this is amazing thank you. Has really helped me this morning.

Thank you Mrs HJG for sharing your experience, it's really helpful to hear how things improved for you. I just need to hold my nerve as another post advised. I've taken some time out of work also.

So pleased things are settling for you and I take encouragement from that, thank you for sharing

Thanks jonnyxs, agreed...I can't believe I've lost weight already and brought my BS levels down ( I test) with a vegetarian LCHF diet so much already and pleased I've decided not to take meds any more. I know things will improve with my eyes, I just want that sinking feeling to leave about it.

Thanks Brekkie, as Newbies it's great that peeps on here are able to help with thier lived experiences.

Hi Hooha, apologies 105 was my HBA1c

Thanks Coby, I'm sure it will get resolved for you at outpatients. I'm sorry you've had so much trouble with it.

Thank you for your encouragement. I'm digging deep. This community really is quite amazing and I keep telling myself how different my eyes should feel in a few weeks. I've never had anxiety issues so just working through that is exhausting. Again thank you Outlier.

Thank you, I know it will resolve itself but it is very scary, I keep crying which doesn't help...but it's all for the greater good. I'm doing the right things and very focused on vegetarian LCHF.

Thanks Brekkie, I've bought some +2.25 readers for close up and find they help. My original prescription has become better for distance. I've read this can happen and then they revert back...taking each day as it comes as my anxiety levels are high. I'm not driving at the moment until things...

Thank you. How long did it take for your vision to settle?

Thank you, it's a bit hit and miss but I'm still getting used to it all, hopefully things will start to level off soon. I saw the DN this morning and didn't really comment on the vision, it's all a bit disorienting and affecting my mood so much. Hopefully within a few days my eyes will adjust...

Thank you, that's really helpful and has alleviated my anxiety. I've just bought some cheap readers and hope the blurred vision settles soon.

Hi everyone. So glad I've found this space. Huge wake up call. Diagnosed 2 weeks ago 105, so very high. Taking the metformin, increased to 2 in second week and will discuss more with diabetes nurse tomorrow. I'm vegetarian and have switched to low carb diet and have lost weight in 2 weeks...
