Message: <blockquote data-quote="LucySW" data-source="post: 571510" data-attributes="member: 113749">I'm in my first week of knowing that I have T2D (diagnosed suddenly a week ago after a blood test to see if I was short on Vitamin D - huge shock). I dropped carbs immediately and have been eating smaller portions just because I was so motivated to get on with it, and my BS is seemingly down from 16 to (at times) 11, which has to be good. But I want to ask about other people's experience of fluctating eyesight. Eyesight deteriorated suddenly over (say) Feb to May. I'm short-sighted and all my prescriptions just got worse. (I'm 55 so have multifocals.) So I got some new glasses which I picked up three weeks ago and fitted then. But now, even in the eight days since I started eating a bit less and OD-ing on salad and veg, the new glasses are too strong, by which I mean I don't seem to need such a strong prescription, and it's going back towards the old ones. Today I'm working at my desk with the old computer glasses. Now this seems like good news to me. I'm hoping this means that my lenses are recovering and that it means my BS is on the way down. My question is, any others who've experienced something like this? Or eyesight getting worse/better/worse/better for T2D reasons? 55, sedentary job but not very fat, diagnosed a week ago with 16 mmol/L, on lo carbs + ex+ Metformin working up to 2g/day tho not there yet.
