Don't entirely count on the optician (assuming you mean someone who can give you spectacles? There's a difference between an optician a la Specsavers here in the Netherlands, and an ophthalmologist). Keep the appointment if they can get a pic of your eyes done to see whether there are little bleeds in there, or move it forward to this week (or today), if you can. More importantly, get in touch with your GP and ask for an emergency referral to an eye specialist at the hospital due to sudden vision loss. I don't know what you have, could be retinopathy, could be other stuff, but with eyes it's usually a good idea to be quick with the help-getting.As for the diabetes shame: It's a genetic predisposition. You didn't do this to yourself, okay? Yeah, I know, that's not going to help at all, just.... Get medical help, soon. You might be diabetic, but it doesn't mean everything you ever get from here on in, is due to high blood sugars. And if it is, well, better to know and get some assistance in getting your vision back to relatively good.Hang in there. Get help.JoPS: There's more you can do to keep yourself healthier, and getting back to low carbing would be one.</blockquote>
