[QUOTE="Lolix1963, post: 1736607, member: 471000"] Hi Everyone I was diagnosed T2 steroid induced less than a month ago. I was admitted to hospital with hyperglycaemia - my levels we in the 30’s or just reading High. I was started on metformin and glicazide and the doses were raised until it became more stable. I was discharged on metformin 850mg 3 x a day, Glicazide 40mg once a day and Victoza injections once a day. The day before discharge I became very sleepy and this has continued. I sleep 75% of the day. About 2 weeks ago my vision became blurred. Blood glucose levels were good. I had an urgent eye test which showed a massive decrease in vision since my last test just four month previous. I also have lightheaded episode which happen even when laying down. It’s not dizziness Ive not for the spinning sensation. It sometimes feels like I’m sinking. My vision has not got any better, a brain scan was clear. I’m really worried about loosing my sight, yet will possibly have to wait up to 6 weeks to see someone it the eye clinic. Being physically disabled and now visionally impaired is not easy when you live alone. I’m fortunate I have friends and family who make my meals as I darned not turn on the gas cooker as I cannot see well enough. Has anyone else experienced this? What was the outcome? [/QUOTE]
