[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1736957, member: 345386"] Steroids can cause a rapid onset, depending on the reason for them and the dosages taken. My father was a steroid induced diabetic, following steroid treatment for a completely different condition. His other condition was so severe that the diabetes was "just" his collateral damage. Sad, but true. In terms of your vision; a number of people have cited changes to vision - better or worse - once they start treatment for their diabetes. Could I ask if you know what your HbA1c actually was in November, when it was "normal"? Opinions on"normal" can vary; especially whilst there are medically complicate situations in play. Your situation does sound rather unusual, but I would urge you not to be too alarmed by the changes in your visions. Many people find the changes fade away again in due course. Some have found themselves to have bought new glasses, only to find they need to be changed again fairly promptly. It is really important you keep tack of it, and have all the medical/opthalmic support available to you. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
