Yes very high levels BG are an emergency but phyiscians are putting everyone in meds right away even if the levels are just a bit above or not an emergency above pre diabetic levels, so wouldnt kill anyone to think twice and advise partiets to come to lower levels over 3 weeks say rather than...

A bit sadden that even fit and walking 4-5 miles a day like I do one still has to go into meds 7-8 years. But I am still puzzled if you dont eart much fruit or carbs at all where is your brain getting the glucose from? I went to diabetes UK food advice and they say eat 4 portions a day of fruit...

Thank you again not only for the hope about the vision stabilizing but for the brain keeping its sharpness despite because of diabetes always having to reduce the intake of molecules such as fructose or others close to glucose. Anyway in LCHF the muscles get energy from fat but since the brain...

That is the point I am trying to make when one is newly diagnosed one should be given the opportunity for diet and exercize and not be placed on meds right away to so steeply drop BG in one week. Diet by itself (without meds simultaneously) can cause some blurred vision but not severe (because...

Hi BibaBee I have indeed been there in that scary place (and also like you my wife with me suffering as well from seeing me depressed) not too long ago in early May . May 2018 was indeed the most terrifying and depressed month of my life has my vision suddenly become so poor after on April 19 I...

What is written above by Mr Pot is sad because devoided of healthy risk benefit balance and grey considerations. For him is either all white (you must drop suddenly BG even if it costs your vision temporarily by subjecting your eye lens to tremendous osmolarity pressure) or black (if you dont...

I was terrified some time ago as shown above and I just want to give the good news to people who find this post so that they too have hope when they are terrified that their vision. For some very strange reason no one warns newly diagnosed people with high blood sugar that if their BG drops...

Several studies on this which track the vision changes of newly diagnosed patients after their BG drops sudden put the recovery of the lens to close to previous levels from 4 to 10 weeks

Hi if blood glucose drops to suddenly the chances of osmotic changes in lens are quiet high (many studies subjecting people to sudden drops in BG and observing it) the good thing is that vision will come back to close to previous levels in weeks unless is a retina issue

Hi Bluetit thank you I am really thankfull that despite having also eye problems you take the time to reaassure and encourage some one else! Kudos for you and humanity at its best in solidarity. I understand well after studying this issue terrified that the retina (if we use a watch metaphora...

Sorry but I do not miss the point at all on this. Please reflect about it: It does not make any risk benefit sense to in order to prevent damage to the retina in the future to do damage to the lens/cornea now by guidelines and hence GPs following them advising BG levels to go down so steeply...

Thanks again. And my case is not the only one by far, not only many on this post but also on another post here https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/newly-diagnosed-blurry-vision-since-rapid-bg-drop.79465/page-3#post-1771789 and on the US in 2007 the same thing...

Thanks. I am waiting and resting the vision to see if the lens of the eye does come back to normal. If I win this fight and get my vision backto normal so that I can function properly again first I have to make up on the reading at my work and then I will make sure I will publish my case and I...

TV is very large so there I can see except if subtitles so now I cannot really use those if I want to see TV in silence....

That is helpful to know that the lens of the eye can be so maleable, sensible to blood sugar sudden drops (when you were diagnosed) or sudden rises (sicily pasta) and still flexible to get back to normal at least twice in your case. What puzzled me the most today at the ophtalmologist it is...

Thank you again so much for confirming that this is what also happened to you and it stabilized after 6 weeks. Yes but that is the sad point newly diagnosed diabetes patients which at least in the western world have not had diabetes for long (because blood samples are frequent, for instance...

Thank you Dark Horse very clear post and exactly what was stated by my Opthalmologist today in the eye casualty unit of the hospital, after visial checking and several essays to confirm that all was fine with my retina. My excellent vision pre starting to drop blood glucose was temporarily...

Thank you Bluetit1802 for the reassurance I hope that is the case. I am feeling a bit more optimist despite not being resolved (yet I hope). The ophtalmologist today told me the same as you that because the levels of BG dropped so much so fast the lens of the eye did not have time to adjust to...
