[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1555672, member: 52527"] Blurry eyes can be a temporary symptom if there is a sudden change in blood glucose control, e.g. when people with type 1 start using insulin or when people with type 2 lose a lot of weight quickly. On the other hand it can be due to macular oedema, a condition which is sight-threatening. See an optician as soon as possible - they can't rule out macular oedema but they can see if there are obvious changes which suggest you have it and can ask your GP to refer you to hospital if there are. Have you tried the strongest ready-readers from e.g. the pound shop? If you can see OK through those, it's more likely to be a temporary problem. Even if the ready-readers work, make sure your new GP refers you to the diabetic eye screening service immediately - you should be screened within 3 months of diagnosis with diabetes. [/QUOTE]
