[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1988263, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=500448]@mick196572[/USER] the blurry vision is normal and will disappear in the next week or so, in regards to bringing your levels down, yes it should be done gradually to help you adjust to 'normal' blood glucose ranges. It may not be possible on your current doses to bring them down so hence why regular reviews to adjust are important, in time you will take ownership of your control and do this yourself as you'll know how your body responds to insulin/carbs better. A bit of a curve ball to throw into the ring is that you may experience a 'honeymoon' phase when your pancreas becomes a little less stressed and squirts out some insulin too - this can last a few months but is temporary and you will find that your insulin needs can vary alot during this time, I found it a pain and couldn't wait to become more dependent on insulin as my control stabilised more then. Try to keep a diary too if you can as this stage it's very useful to track your insulin taken/times and blood glucose readings, you can use an app like 'diasend' to record and this can be emailed to your nurse/team with your results if you're having a phone conversation to review, it gives them a better picture of what's going on and will ultimately help you manage this better.
