Hello everyone :-)

Issues with eyes can be very concerning but if it is that your vision is out of focus is should settle down once your blood glucose comes down. People often only notice a problem when levels become very high as high blood glucose causes the shape of the eye to change altering the focal length but it occurs slowly so your brain adapts but then as blood glucose falls because of dietary changes or medication the eye environment returns to the more normal salty so the shape changes again so you then notice changes in your vision.
Once blood glucose is more stable it will usually settle down.
This is of course different to the potential risk of retinopathy but you should have retinal screening to check on that.

That’s really good to know. I had noticed in hospital my vision was getting better as they stabilised my sugars but when home it got blurry again. I didn’t realise there was such a big connection. Thank you

Even though my initial blood glucose was only just in the diabetic zone after a couple of months when my level dropped my eyes were terrible, distance vision was OK but close vision was all over the place.
It did take a while to settle down so if you wear glasses it is not a good plan to get new ones until it has otherwise it could be costly

I’ll bear that in mind. Thank you
