Blurry eyes

...I'd say - doctors for you! - for reassurance if nothing lese.

I'd agree, we can only suggest a possible cause based on our own experiences, but you should get it checked out if it persists 🙂

I remember when I left hospital (where my levels had still been ranging from 2-28 mmol/l 😱) and started getting good numbers, I couldn't read at all and had to buy a magnifying glass so I could read the packets in the supermarket. One day I forgot to take it and I felt very old when I had to ask a young shop assistant to read a packet for me!

I was given to understand in 1972 (on diagnosis) that the eye effect (which not everybody has and it affects some more than others) was actually as a result of your body getting used to lower BG levels. Mine also took 6 or 7 weeks to settle. As I earned my crusts working as a clerk, this meant I couldn't go to work. Neither could I read, knit, sew or watch telly for very many minutes which was tragic as I'd booked holiday to watch the Munich Olympics .... Grrrrrrr.

Bored as hell.

I do get blurred eyes when my BG is high, yes, that's utterly common - but it is a different kind of blurred (although it looks the same to my brain IYSWIM)

The first sort is a focussing problem; the second is - just blurry vision.

So if you've started a new med, and esp if your BG is OK - it should actually be a GOOD sign.

I was advised not to drive or try to do anything termed 'close work' until it had settled otherwise I'd get terrible eye strain and permanently ruin my eyesight.

My blurry vision is all at a distance, up to a hundred metres I can still see ok but the .....sharpness that was there, beyond that, is no longer, if my BS is high.
I tried an experiment after it happened the first time and I had calmed down and thought about it. I was on purposely naughty, (increased my BS with a piece of chocolate ..oh! heaven, more like BAD JIMBO! BAD ) after a little while it had the same effect, so that's why Alan's info made me feel a lot better, it confirmed what I suspected was happening and gave me a sense of discovery and relief as I now have another tell tale for high BS.
The first problem you mention TW, the focussing one, I only experience when I don't wear my glasses for reading!
