[QUOTE="Mustaffa, post: 2339617, member: 530965"] Hi, I was diagnosed at the end of July and immediately started on insulin. After two weeks my eyesight got progressively worse. I attended Morefield eye hospital A&E and they said I had cataracts compounded by the change on osmotic pressure in my eyes and suggested I get a cheap pair of specks of the highest magnification I could stand and warned me it was going to get worse before it got better and take 6 to 8 weeks. Sure enough it got worse, I had to stop work, I bought a magnifying glass with built in light and an illuminated visor with drop down lenses. For the middle two weeks I couldn’t see to cross the road unaided or use a computer. Now 14 weeks later with my HbA1C down from 124 to 37 I am back to work with a cheap pair of milk bottle glasses now gathering dust. [/QUOTE]
