[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1636782, member: 355878"] I think that you should speak to the doctor as his nurse has obviously lost touch with reality. You have classic symptoms of diabetes and should be given proper advice. An eye test should be arranged for you - not for your sight but for a check on your retina - as high blood glucose can cause damage there. Raised levels can cause blurry vision, but once you can get control that should hopefully subside. If you've had raised levels for some time you might need new glasses - if you have them, but not straight away, or you might have glasses which are OK for a few weeks only. Changing your diet so as to exclude high carb foods should sort out most of your problems quite fast. High carb doesn't need to be expensive - if you go for the best steak and chicken fillets it would be, but shin of beef casserole and packs of chicken thighs have worked for me. I did have sirloin steak the other day, but that was part of a box from the local butcher and there's not many steaks and far more shin. [/QUOTE]
