[QUOTE="Ixarix, post: 1576480, member: 439065"] Nice to hear your doing well. I was recently diagnosed a few weeks ago, though in my case I wound up having a crash course with a stay in the hospital. My vision kind of improved for a while after I left the hospital. I always have worn glasses for distance. But for about a week my vision was fine without my glasses. However my eyes seem to have settled down and I'm back to wearing glasses. I as well have a good support network around me. My family doctor has been really good. His practice is part of large medical team which includes a diabetic nurse who I've already seen. Plus a nutritionist who I will see Thursday. Also, through sheer good fortune, when I was in the hospital, an endocrinologist was working in the CCU. She was able to evaluate me there and arrange for a follow up appointment. I think getting the proper support from the start makes a huge difference going forward. I find I'm much more calm about it, and what I have to do to stay healthy. Also, finding this site and being able to share experiences has been helpful as well. I can't imagine going through this without all this support. [/QUOTE]
