Yer rocking an A1c of 36 since you last of 41, 12 months prior.

When did you last see an optician?

But those levels only dropped from 41 to 36 from end of January when I started lower carb, higher fat. There is no other plausible conclusion unless other factors get the credit for the drop. Given my timeline over the last year.

Fantastic. Do you know why it varied, by chance?

Yes it is the blood sugar affecting your eyes. Mine were really blurry i had to wear my glasses to do most things and as the blood sugar dropped my eyes started to improve/
It took around six weeks to get back to normal, but i tell you that when they do get back to normal you will be amazed at all the wonderful colours and brightness of everything .
I am having my yearly eye test in May and I know i will need new glasses with a new better prescription because I find myself reading small print now that i couldn't read last year .

I have a theory that my higher blood sugar levels go back a lot further than 2014. There are certain symptoms that I have noticed that I previously put down to old age. Eye sight deterioration is one of them.

My blood sugar levels with HbA1c did not suddenly zoom up to 49 in Dec of 2014. They may well have been as high or almost as high for a while but gone undetected. So methinks that my eyesight deterioration may be tied to that.

Your post gives me some hope that my eyesight will improve at least a bit, over the coming months.

Thanks.

I have a whole box full of reading glasses which I picked up for a few pounds - I got really powerful ones at first, now I don't need them except when I wasn't to magnify up some fine work beyond what normal eyesight copes with - I still need glasses for distance, but not reading glasses.
 
The eyes have it.

My vision is much clearer today. It does vary on a daily basis.
