[QUOTE="samowen268, post: 1650515, member: 421720"] We’re all the same! I’ve been begging for answers about eyesight loss in this forum too, I’ve had some awful problems with my eyes this year, they were so bad I was convinced I’d be blind by now. Coincidentally (not!), I’d been neglecting my blood sugars for at least a year because I was going through that teenage phase of “rebelling”, and the eyesight is eventually sorting itself out bit by bit, I went to the eye doctor and the results said I had signs of maculopathy, the stage before background retinopathy.. which although I’m only 19 I’m very grateful not to have severe sight damage after the amount of sugar I was consuming, I’d say if I can drink and eat sugary things for months and only have tiny eye issues, your sight should be fine as long as your control is! And even if in the future they go a bit messed up, just get laser surgery or one of the many options done, it’s amazing how much they can do for our eyes now.. hope this somehow helped, sorry for rambling, try not to worry!
