[QUOTE="db89, post: 1444767, member: 374526"] Welcome to the forum [USER=396576]@daffadam[/USER] - I imagine you are taking a lot in about your new diagnosis right now. It can be overwhelming at first with so much to learn for managing diabetes. For the first few days after being discharged after my diagnosis I likened it to being given a car to drive with no idea of clutch control. I didn't personally have the vision changes (I got false hypos instead for a bit) but from what I've read it can be more pronounced if your blood glucose has dropped dramatically to normal levels as various parts of your body (including the eyes) have been used to a sugary bath in the blood for a little while most likely. Once your levels are stable in a normal range for a while it should start to sort itself out but if you are concerned or it isn't please have a word with your healthcare team. Feel free to ask any questions, there is a lot of help and guidance to be found here. :) [/QUOTE]
