I have diabetic retinopathy was diagnosed a few years ago now. I managed to put my diabetes in remission but after a really bad time became diabetic type 2 again. I had blood sugar levels of 11.4 which have come down to 6.4 so now considered prediabetic.

The nurse said because of the drastic turnaround my eyes may have been affected and I've noticed more so my eyes are a bit blurry and also have floaters in them. Does anyone else have experience with this?

Thank you
 
If you have floaters get them checked out straightaway. Mostly they're not a problem, but they can indicate something more serious.
 
Agree with the above. I have flashes and floaters and when they first appeared I went to see the optician who immediately took me in for an examination. There she satisfied herself that nothing sinister was going on before giving me a leaflet which effectively said they are not uncommon and would become a fact of life for me, as they have. So get checked out asap just in case, but the chances are you will get the same leaflet as me.
 
I just keep blinking to clear the blur away. :( More carbs more blur!
