Hi. This seems strange, but I was diagnosed as Type 2 two weeks ago, and put on Metformin 500 3 times daily. I've had no issues with the drug so moved to the full dose quite quickly. I have also reduced Carbs to less than 70g a day. I wear glasses, and about 5 days ago I started noticing that my eyesight was starting to worsen, and it has got steadily worse every day, until today when I was struggling to read a car number plate at the sort of distance you need to to pass your test. Has anyone else had these symtoms, and is it a normal part of normalising blood sugars ?
Should add that my A1c was 88 when I was diagnosed. With the drugs and change of diet I have got my fasting results down to the low 7's with even a 6.9 on one morning this week.
