[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1736686, member: 52527"] When you say a 'decrease in your vision' do you just mean that your visual acuity is reduced i.e. letters etc. appear blurred at distances where they would previously have been in focus? It is very common for people to get blurred vision when they reduce their blood glucose levels from high down to normal. It usually takes a few weeks for the glucose levels in the lens of the eye to stabilise and it is recommended that you don't buy glasses until your prescription stops changing. Some people buy a few sets of ready-readers from the pound shop to help them through this time. However, you would not be referred to the eye clinic for this so what did the optician tell you was wrong? Presumably you told them that you were newly-diagnosed with diabetes. [/QUOTE]
