I also have those swings in eyesight though not as rapid and severe as you.
Hello, exquisite one!
Hello, exquisite one!
I had the 2nd op on Monday. 2 days off and back at work now. The new eye is still bedding in. The vision is amazing. Today I invested in my first pair of reading glasses and now I can read close up too!
In a week or so I expect my left eye will settle down. But already I can see from long distance to computer screen distance without glasses, and read a book or my phone.
It's absolutely fantastic.
I can't wait!!!Hello Gorgeous!
That is wonderful news.
In honour of your new peepers, I will (for one day only) change my avatar pic to something your newly acute vision will allow you to fully appreciate.
I can't wait!!!
I just knew there was a reason I wanted to see more clearly.
Rest assured you aren't the only one. My eyesight becomes more short sighted with high blood sugar. Nothing like the variability that you describe though.Hi
Yes, I do 'feel' my diabetes. I am type 1 and, this might sound weird and it is not scientific, but I can tell if my BG is above 7.5/8 by seeing if the outlines of a picture on the wall in my kitchen look blurred when I look at it from the other end of the room. My eye sight starts to blur when I am about those levels and consequently my eyesight changes all day long. I can also have a pretty good guess at my BG on waking in the morning from the clarity of my vision. My house is littered with pairs of spectacles of different focal lengths. I've been assured this constant change in focal length isn't harmful, but I don't like it. My medical team say that I am the only person who reports daily swings in eye sight.
My head also tingles and I feel as though the skin of my scalp is crawling when i am high. By contrast, I feel really energetic and sharp between 4-6. Below that, I feel vulnerable and panicky.

As you know I'm also T2. I get a strange feeling high in my tummy and it's usually when my bg is lowering and has reached the low 5s. I do go under 5 but I don't seem to like it. I tend to get light headed at times but this can be due to low or higher levels. I've rarely seen anything in the high 6s and I think swings from low to high or vice versa can make me feel dizzy. I stopped the metformin at the end of May as my control was good and it was making me go too low for my liking. It's only since then that I've been getting that funny feeling in my tummy. I wondered if it was hunger pangs or my liver getting ready to dump if need be. Not sure but it's strange.I'm Type 2. My current daily average is running at about 6.5mmol/l. I have quite a few readings in the 4's pre-prandial, including one at spot on 4. I also had a one-off reading of 12.4 at 2 hours post prandial that was still 11.4 at 2.5 hours. I have never felt any different, whether as low as 4 or as high as 12.4. No sleepiness, headaches, vision problems. Nothing. When I test I have no idea what sort of level it will be.
