I was diagnosed type 2 in feb with bg at 17.5. Put on 1000mg metformin immediately rising to 2000. Had my first eye check 2 weeks ago and have background retinopathy. Obviously very upsetting as when first diagnosed I assumed that the start of any complications would be much further down the line. My near vision has deteriorated with the diabetes and I experience blurred vision, at times reading can be quite difficult. I wear variofocals but have been told not to replace until bg level is under control. Has anyone experienced similar?
