Hi everyone
A little background info : I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 2 weeks ago now. After feeling particularly unwell I had the HBA1C test which came back at 96 and my blood/sugar was 28 - not good. My eyes had become blurry but after a week of very very low carb and sugar they got worse - after a bit of research online it seems it could be as a result of going from a very high carb/sugar diet to the opposite end of the spectrum. Does anyone else have experience with this?
I am hoping that once the blood/sugar settles down my vision will come back to normal. For the past week my blood/sugar has been in from 5.4 - 7.8 depending on the time of the day etc so it would seem I am on the right track and I have to say I feel a lot better ... it's just the eyesight that is bothering me.
I visited my optometrist last week who after checking my eyesight said that I had not done any lasting damage, that I was no longer short sighted (I used to wear glasses to watch TV) but am now long sighted. He doesn't believe the blurry vision will right itself but I am hoping others have shared a similar experience 'cause I would hate to have this problem for the rest of my life!
Thanks in advance.
Allessandra, I also had the blurry vision. I am very short sighted but my vision was blurry in long sightedness. I went to my optician and they thought it was due to cataracts which I had been diagnosed with six months prior to diabetes. My retinal screening came back fine and after about 3-4 weeks the blurriness cleared so fingers crossed for you.
