[QUOTE="gwai84, post: 1784346, member: 407377"] I get these flashing lights related to hypos, near hypos, or when blood sugar is falling quickly - pretty much every time, it's one of my most reliable symptoms! They originate from the brain, not the eye (in my case anyway) - the "flashes" are identical and occur in both eyes at the same time. This is the same as migraine aura; it's a visual symptom but originating in the brain. It's all related to brain cells requiring glucose to function normally - with low levels you can get all sorts of strange effects, right up to seizure if you blood sugar falls low enough. [/QUOTE]
