Message: <blockquote data-quote="Boyfriend" data-source="post: 14953" data-attributes="member: 9698">Ok folks we went to the opticians again last night and they had lost all his notes, took them half an hour to sort it. Then when they re-tested his eyes that had gotten dramatically worse from the diabetes. To cut a long story short they reimbursed the money for the glasses and told him that they would re test him in a couple of months and for him to buy a pair off the peg, his sight though is so bad that he cant even make out peoples faces without his glasses on. Then the next problem was that you cant get x 4.5 or 5 lenses over the counter so i dont know what the next thing is. The optician was going to send a letter to the docs telling him he needed reassessing straight away as his eyesight had gone dramatically worse since he was last tested two weeks ago.So then we decided to test him with the accu reader. Couldnt get a reading from his hands as his hands are too tough because of his job so we had to wait over two hours and take a reading from his upper arm as instructed. His reading last night was 15.5  which is better than the 19.9 when we first tried the other day. I then tested him this morning as he woke up and he was 16.7 and then again half an hour later after he had eaten breakfast which was muesli and fruit it was 15.6 or thereabouts.......this still sounds high to me or is this normal for someone whose body is getting used to the meds? God this is a minefield.By the way my post may be misleading, i should be signing my posts, girlfriend, didnt fill in the questions properly.xx</blockquote>
