[QUOTE="Creggwood, post: 1716403, member: 469889"] Hi all, I’m coming up to 1 week of being diagnosed with t1 diabetes and am starting to get my head around things, however I have a question about my eye sight. Back story: I have worn glasses since primary school and been wearing them or lenses permanently for 7 years. I had my eyes tested in January and needed stronger lenses, therefore got new glasses (not sure if this was the diabetes or not). A few weeks later I noticed that my new specs and lenses weren’t cutting the mustard and I couldn’t see anything; a result of the diabetes. Since being on insulin I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my eyesight and now my glasses are too strong but I still don’t have 20/20 vision. I have seen some posts of people saying similar things but that is doesn’t last. I am also aware that my eyesight is better when my blood sugar is lower. Question: I am due to meet with my optician again in 3 weeks, will this eye test be reliable? I don’t want to shell out another £100+ on glasses for them to be wrong again. TYIA [/QUOTE]
