[QUOTE="35yearsofType1, post: 2375012, member: 528868"] Her sight won’t be affect at this stage at all. This is advice given when someone’s hba1c has been high for years as your daughter is type 1 not type 2 she will have literally only started having highs maybe a few days before she was diagnosed when her pancreas suddenly decided to stop producing insulin. Type 2 are advised when diagnosed not to bring it down too quickly as usually they have been diabetic/pre diabetic for a number of years as it’s a slow progression. This is where type1 and 2 are different. (Type 1 are advised this after a long time of high Hba1cs). A type 2 diabetic may have had high blood sugars for 10 years before being diagnosed hence the advice for those people is different at diagnosis. The best thing would be to try and sort out her control which obviously with the honeymoon period will be hard at the moment. Also like searley said - speak to your diabetes nurse - mine as a child became a long standing family friend - my parents could ring her any time for advice and I could now if I needed to! [/QUOTE]
