Eyesight!

I couldn't drive tonight - my eyes can't work out if they want to be long or short sighted right now.

And being miserable just makes me want to reach for the chocolate and crisps! I lost over a stone so I look like I need feeding up, I just don't have sufficient control of my blood sugars to risk it. Keep reminding myself it's only 2 weeks since the doctor suspected diabetes and only 4 days on insulin - but patience isn't a virtue!

Very early days. Be kind to yourself.
 
I'm not a fan of meds, where they can be avoided, but we're all different.

To be honest, @Circuspony , my advice would be to concentrate on working towards getting your bloods into a better range, and your body will deal with your vision in its own way.

You likely have a lot to get your head around at this stage, without adding more non-prescription drugs into the mix.

Good luck with it all.
