I think it's fairly common for extreme variations in BG levels to affect vision. Hopefully once your BG becomes stable, your vision will settle back to normal as well.

Hi Lin,

I had very blurred vision in January this year. I went to the optician they prescribed new distance glasses with non glare lenses. However, I did tell the optician that I had been diagnosed with borderline diabetes the year before and that I was also seeing starbursts and halo's round street lights etc., When I got the results of my HBA1c test in February confirming I was T2 diabetic the nurse said that the optician should have picked up the symptoms and referred me to my gp as vision problems is a typical sign of T2 db and once you have stabilised your bg levels it takes about 6 weeks for you eyes to settle down and the glasses would be no good. I went back to the optician and told him and they have agreed to take a further eye test and replace my glasses free of charge.

So you really need to get you bg under control and you will find that your vision will slowly improve, so try not to worry too much at this stage.

Hope this has helped.

With good BG control, the progression of cataracts wud come to a stop. Nothing to worry about. Good luck.
