[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 37215, member: 12578"] Insulinman I have read of visual disturbances prior to hypos is others, haven't heard of it being asscociated with a particular insulin. Theres a wide variety of 'symptoms', and not everyone has all of them. Re eye changes after diagnosis. As Diabetic Geek says its to do with the change in fluid consistency causing the lens to change shape. The high BS before diagnosis would have caused these changes but as it happens gradually the eye gets used to it and the person often doesn't realise that their vision has become worse.A normalisation of blood sugars results in the vision you would have had if you hadn't got diabetes (ie if you were short sighted before you won't suddenly develop 20/20 vision) . Frequent rapid changes in BS can however cause serious damage to eyes. My BS were brought down very quickly with insulin and for a few days I could see for ever. It was most odd. I could look out of the hospital window and everything was more bright and clear, I could see for miles. On the other hand I could't bear to look at the television screen as it was far too close. This rapidly resolved itself. [/QUOTE]
