[QUOTE="Seacrow, post: 1848858, member: 420515"] Mine did the same. At diagnosis I got prescribed insulin, so blood glucose went down really fast and, hey presto, blurred vision. It took about a week to stabilize (at a new prescription), the optician wouldn't test for a new prescription until my sugars had been stable for a month. The consultant was uninterested and said, yeah, it happens. It is probable that this low glucose level eyesight is your new normal, and it has previously been hidden by the high bg. It might be an idea to talk to an ophthalmologist (the ones who do the retinopathy screening), even if only to reassure yourself there is no lasting damage. Alas, other than keeping a nice low and stable bg, there is nothing you can do to change diabetic eye damage. [/QUOTE]
