Hi jammer,

Raised blood glucose does cause blurred vision, more-so when hyper over a long period of time. I would see your gp about this, as it may be unrelated to your diabetes, so best get checked out.

People who are touchy.......feign indignation at the slightest thing. Hypocrites, bullies and cowards.
I agree with Nigel (who just beat me to it !! :wink: )

Blurred vision can be a symptom of both high AND low blood sugars. From the tone of your post it appears that yours may be high. What are your levels throughout the day ?

Blurred vision can also be symptomatic of many other things, some not Diabetes related. You really need to see your GP or an Opthamologist and get your eyes checked out again to rule out something other than high or low Bg levels.
