[QUOTE="Bex72, post: 2326485, member: 528595"] Hi Dubs, I was diagnosed after very blurred vision too. I thought that my vision would return as soon as I got some good number on my blood glucose monitor but it took a bit longer. The monitor is helpful as it enables you to identify foods that cause spikes (e.g. for me oats, lentils) and of course to track progress. It took a while to accept what had happened (I'd gorged myself on chocolate cherry liqueurs for too long) and what I needed to do (reduce carbs). I bought some cook books: Michael Moseley Blood Sugar Diet cookbook, Caldessi and some Keto ones (The works was quite reasonable). Btw, I did buy two pairs of cheap glasses as I found the blurred vision lasted for a couple of months and as I couldn't see to drive, read or see facial expressions it was getting me down. I was much happier with glasses. My HbA1c was 78 in August and was 51 a week ago. I found so much support and encouragement from members of this site, you've come to the right place. [/QUOTE]
