[QUOTE="sally and james, post: 1791475, member: 93504"] From our experience, the general upset to the eyes, caused by raised blood sugars does seem to carry on one way or another for quite a while after sugars (and, presumably insulin as the improvement is totally due to diet) are brought down to normal levels. However, James' eyes have, overall, improved enormously over the past five years of low carb, I recall the opthalmologist using the word, "amazing", at one point. However, there was one problem at the almost four year point, where a healthy eye got into an over exuberant healing mode, but this was dealt with by one VEGF injection. This shows how important it is to continue to have eye checks, even if diabetes itself has been resolved (other words are available!). For eyes (and probably everything else), Don't panic, keep low carbing and carry on. Sally [/QUOTE]
