[QUOTE="cugila, post: 112848, member: 15325"] Hi Nicole. Welcome to the forum. Blurred vision is a common symptom of Hyperglycaemia (high blood sugars). You may also be suffering from increased thirst and passing a lot of urine, large amounnts of sugar and ketones in the urine, weakness, abdominal pains, generalised aches and pains, loss of appetite, feeling and being sick, heavy laboured breathing. ALL common symptoms of elevated Bg levels. The main causes are too little or no Insulin, eating more carbohydrates than your diet allows for, infection or fever, emotional stress or less exercise taken than usual. Changes HAVE to be made. None of this is good and is indicative of a loss of control of your Bg levels. As Ham says, get yourself an appointment ASAP and this time go to it. Nobody is going to 'bite your head off'. Just explain what has been happening and ask for help. I am sure that is exactly what you will get. Your health is the priority here. You are certainly young enough to stop this in it's tracks, providing you do something NOW. You must get back control and stop those elevated numbers, otherwise you will find that further complications will set in. Control is everything and should be easy to achieve with help and support. We can offer both here, but you must take the first step and get help close to home....see your GP/Nurse now. [/QUOTE]
