Glucose levels affect the focal length of the lens and when there is a sudden improvement in diabetic control, it can take a few weeks for eyesight to stabilise. In the mean time, continue using ready-readers and don't worry about it. However, make sure you attend your eye screening which should be offered within 3 months of diagnosis.This assesses if there any significant changes in the retina due to diabetes. The test can use a pinhole eye test if your vision is still blurred due to the effects of changing glucose levels on the lens.</blockquote>
