blurred vision

Hi,

Just hold on in there. I was exactly the same! I found it hard to believe that it would just magically disappear...but it does, trust me! As soon as you can start bringing your levels down then your eye sight will return to normal.

Yes - another reason why blood sugar levels need to be brought down reasonably slowly. Certainly according to one author bringing them down too quickly can cause further eye problems.

Hi,

I had the same... just for a week or two.. I bought a cheap pair of string reading glasses froma supermarket. That really helped.

It does pass

hya,
it will get better as you get your bloods more stable hang on in there

Hi Curleous

Hope you're getting to grips with this now!!

As I've mentioned before I'm only 4 months in and was very concerned about my eys as even as blood dropped seemed to be getting worse. It took 6 weeks for mine to be normal so please don't worry but get advice if they're not better after some weeks.

I was told it takes so long because with every drop in BG the lens in your eyes adjusts shape accordingly, so with every drop it adjusts again... (don't know if I was told correctly but seemed to make sense)

I spent 6 weeks wearing my partners glasses and looking quite the fool at work but was cheaper than buying any!! (cheapskate I know but I'd had to buy carb count books etc etc...)

Before long you won't be 8) but back to

Hi.
When I first was diagnosed I had terrible blurred vision for about 2 wks and I was very concerned but it magically disappeared. It is so frustrating but u wil get your vision back oncw your levels come down and stablise. Keep trying to get those levels down x
