[QUOTE="EHB720, post: 928694, member: 203604"] It's a well known factor that changes in blood sugar can cause blurred vision as the lens in the eye hydrates and rehydrates to compensate for the changes in your blood glucose. These changes change the refractive properties of your lens. Your experience perhaps flags the importance that all adults should have an eye test at least every 2 years and had you done so your diabetes may have been caught earlier. I do hope you weren't a driver and hadn't had your vision checked regularly. As a retired NHS clinical adviser, I can confirm that optometrists regularly refer patients for suspicion of diabetes to their GP, due to this happening go them. [/QUOTE]
