During the covid lockdown for the past few months, I’ve really struggled. Leading to me half assing my diet (stupid, I know). My eyes got really bad and my sugars got really high until I decided I can’t keep living like that so I went 100% clean. Have been for a month or so. My eyes have gotten a lot better but I still find them getting really itchy and sore a lot. And a lot of the time they’re really sore and red when I wake up. This surely isn’t normal, right? I don’t go out currently and going to the hospital/doctors is very risky considering I don’t have a mask (as I don’t go out). Do I have what they call, diabetic neuropathy in my eyes? Is this permanent? Is this normal after neglecting my diabetes for so long? Can this be healed at all? I take full responsibility obviously for being an idiot but I hope and pray this isn’t permanent. My MMOG/L was 5 when I last checked it yesterday. I’m only 11 months diagnosed so I’m kind’ve a noob. One last thing, I’m still peeing sugar from time to time, is that because of the build up of sugar in my system from the abuse? Does anyone have experience with this? Will it ever go away? I’m a type 2. Do I need Insulin despite my sugars being ‘normal’ now? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
