Thank you for your reply I am going to have my eyes re tested this week and I go to vision express for mine I really hope the blurred vision gets better it’s really worrying me that something bad is wrong with themIf you have had high BG then the fluid in your eyes is also at that level, when you go low carb osmosis means that your eyes change shape.
Do not buy new glasses until you have had a few months of lower levels - and then only some cheap reading glasses if you need them.
After 6 months your eyesight should have stabilised and then your investment in glasses should be worthwhile.
I hope that you don't go to Specsavers - they gave me glasses without a vital component of my prescription, and my brain stopped looking through my left eye - I was constantly clipping curbs and didn't realise why. I went to my old optician on the way back from my retina scan. They were horrified and gave me exercises to get my brain to look through that eye again.
You really do not need to be retested so soon - many people have reported blurred vision in the first few weeks after lowering BG levels. It is perfectly normal, entirely to be expected and nothing to be concerned about - but if you get talked into new glasses they will most likely be useless in a few weeks.Thank you for your reply I am going to have my eyes re tested this week and I go to vision express for mine I really hope the blurred vision gets better it’s really worrying me that something bad is wrong with them

Specsavers have over 1,800 stores in 10 countries so you can't really judge all of them by one incident.If you have had high BG then the fluid in your eyes is also at that level, when you go low carb osmosis means that your eyes change shape.

My blood sugars last Friday were 18.6 and over the week I have managed to get them down to the 7s /6 but vision still on the blurry side doc said she thinks it’s down to my body getting used to the decrease in blood sugars but to get them checked out .It is something my doctor warned me about; never check your sight when your sugar is high because as soon as your BG goes back to normal the glasses would be pointless

Sure thing to be expected tbh because your body coped with the hyperglycemia and now it is trying to cope with the normoglycemia. There is a golden rule about diabetes: patience. Just give it some time before taking any measureMy blood sugars last Friday were 18.6 and over the week I have managed to get them down to the 7s /6 but vision still on the blurry side doc said she thinks it’s down to my body getting used to the decrease in blood sugars but to get them checked out .
