Message: <blockquote data-quote="Circuspony" data-source="post: 1736918" data-attributes="member: 432241">Sounds like me in the first month after I started insulin (New T1). I have been short sighted for 35 years and for the past 20 years my prescription has been pretty static. Pre diagnosis last year I realised I couldn't read the time on our DVD player any more. Optician told me I had got drastically more short-sighted and told me to get new glasses. Good thing I didn't because A&E beckoned 3 weeks later.After starting insulin my eyes became more long sighted until I suddenly found I had 20:20 vision. It was surreal. Only lasted 2 weeks sadly until they started to change back to where they had been pre diabetes.I was also exhausted for a good 8 weeks after diagnosis. The consultant told me I'd probably been running at high sugar levels for a year so my body was going cold turkey. Likely all just a normal part of adjusting but a GP visit is a good idea</blockquote>
