Hi,
I have been recently diagnosed T2, my BG was running in the mid 20's, its now creeping towards single figures thanks to a lot of helpful advice on this forum with diet etc, this has been done over a period of 3 weeks, as well as diet I am on 320mg of Gliclazide a day.
My eye sight has noticeably deteriorated during the last weeks, to the point where I cannot see characters on the television where as before I had no problem, my DN advised that it could be related to glucose and may improve again when my levels get down to between 6 to 8 mmol, the point that concerns me is that my vision is now worse than it was when I was in the 20 mmol level.
I visited the optician yesterday and he confirmed that I need a new prescription as my vision had deteriorated, he checked my eyes and saw no signs of damaged veins or bleeding behind the eye.
Has anyone else experienced what I am going through and if so could you let me know how the the time scale was for the recovery of vision, and whether it ever got back to where it was, if I continue with the current rate of deterioration then I am very worried as to where it will end up.
thanks in advance for any comments or thoughts
