before i say this, i just wanna say im not trying to spark of another worrying session... you clearly don't have diabetes, but...
1 week before i was diagnosed, i went for an eye test, becasue my vision was getting blurry in the afternoons... even after telling the optitian that my vision only got blurry in the afternoon after eating lunch, he still ended up giving me a prescription for glasses!!! At the time surrounding the time of the eye test (does that even make sense?) i was urinating every 20 minutes, couldn't get enough water and felt so tired i would have been happy to just curl up in the middle of the street and go to sleep!
He didn't pick up on the diabetes!!! They say they can only pick it up if they're specifically looking for it, or if there's already diabetic damage to the eye!
I tell ya... i had a tough time convincing them i'd been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and didn't actually need the glasses that i'd paid £250 for because my sugar levels had returned to normal and such so had my vision! I did get the money back in the end.... eventually!!
I guess the moral of this short story lol is that you can't rely on an eye test to pick up a diagnosis of diabetes...
