After a year of low carb eating - not no carb, and not dieting - I'm a TOFI, and despite far too many lapses, my HbA1c has come down to 43, after a shocking 88 a year ago. (I was clueless for years .) My previous result was 49 in July, and I thought that was amazing.

The bad news is my eyesight is decidedly blurry. And constantly. This after a referral to hospital for macular degeneration just last Friday, when I reported it wasn't great, but not blurry.
 
Well a big congratulations on your blood sugars coming right down @Rosie9876 . That’s great news. As for your eyes, I’m sorry to hear this,
 
Well done on your reducing your BG, hopefully there’ll be better news about your eyes also. Fingers crossed for you

TOFI is thin on the outside, fat on the inside. If I lose weight, my arms and legs become stick-like, but my visceral fat resists leaving. You could have knocked me over when I was diagnosed with T2D, except my mother had it. Thank you for well wishes.
 
awesome hba1c reduction well done
hugs for eyes hopefully blurryiness improves after treatment
 
Well done on reducing your hba1c - great result.
Hope you get to see someone soon about your eye issues and find out more about what's wrong and treating if needed. Crossing fingers the blurryness is temporary.
