I've had to borrow my Hubby's reading glasses to even be able to see my laptop screen.
Diagnosed with probable type 2 a fortnight ago, changed to type one (at the very old age of 43) when the gliclazide failed to do anything and I ended up in A&E with high keton readings. Problematic eyesight about 10 weeks ago was probably the first sign I had that something wasn't right - but the optician just told me that I'd missed a sight test and got more short-sighted without realising it.
Strangely enough my distance vision that was the problem then has sorted itself out, but my ability to read anything close up has vanished.
How long does it take to get back to normal? My glucose readings are inconsistent as I'm still getting to grips with everything, so does that mean my eyes are going to play up every time I get a high reading?
