contact your DR or nurse is always the best advice
you should have been given a meter because you can hypo with this drug. have you got a meter? what are your BG levels, too quick of a drop can cause blurry vision, and too low [hypo] will cause it too, are you sweaty or have a headache?
 
Good morning my vision has gone blurry within the last 12 hours my last blood count was 15.1 I haven't been able to sleep but no headache or sweating
 
I always have had 20/20 vision until I was diagnosed. My eyesight reversed. This is because of your high or low blood sugar levels. Once you normalise your bloods, your eyesight will become clear again, it is a symptom of T2.
One of the reasons that diabetics get eye tests and screening is to check your progress and if you are addressing the symptoms.
Reduce your sugar and carbs intake, do some exercise and your levels should normalise.
 
It's down to your high blood glucose levels. It was explained to me when I was diagnosed that when you have high BGs, you get an excess of glucose in the fluid on the outside of your eyes, which causes blurring. If you can bring your levels down it should clear up.
