Hi Eva,
it's an on going battle of beating the meter, if having a bad day there's always tomorrow. Even after 50 years on insulin I still learn something new most days :)
 
It scared me to death when Ieft hospital and couldnt focus on anything. DN said it was the lenses in my eyes adjusting to my new BS level normal eyes now trying to concentrate on a small screen at work was a nightmare. Something about high blood sugar distorting the lenses think fun house mirrors thats how it was explained to me. Btw is that facepaint or a mask in your profile picture? It caught my eye kinda freaky in the best kind of way.
 
Well done that girl for going to the opticians. :-):)
I don't know if you know, but, if you need the prescription changing you don't have to buy new frames, they can change the lenses.
When you get the glasses the optician will fit them for you, they may take a little to get used to. But if after a week if they don't feel rite go back, they will adjust them for you.
By the way, I think those frames look great.
:cool:

Just before I was diagnosed my eyes were reaally blurry which was scary especially having no clue what was going on ahaha. Yeah it's face paint when I get the time I try do stuff on my face :)

Thanks!! Yaay I guess when my eyes settle down when my bloods do my lenses can be changed :) looking forward to seeing properly!!
 
When it happened to me, Eva, as my eyes went back to normal from the icky place they'd been (and I'd just bought four expensive pairs of glasses), I had to sit further and further away from my computer each single day, until I had to take my glasses off for the first time in my life. For a month I had perfect long-distance vision. When they eventually settled it wasn't quite as good as that, but it was what it had been four years before. That was nice!

You go girl. Love and hugs,

Lucy
 
Thank you!! Can't wait to be able to see a bit better with the glasses and when bloods settle down should be even better :)
