HI
When I was first diagnosed in May last year my vision became really bad, ended up not working for a month and not being able to drive for ages. I thought it was high BG that was causing but other research said it could have been the low carb diet.
I have recently had a problem with my medication and needed to change it as my BG was quite raised again. My levels are really good when I check now (I have never been lower that 8 before!) I am also sticking to a really low carb diet - about 40 or 50g a day. I am really pleased with the glucose levels but today I am sure my eyes are going again. I wear varifocals and I can only really see properly through the bottom part of the lens which is exactly what happened in May - although in May it got much worse.
I wonder if anyone else has had the same problems and if they managed to do anything to prevent their sight shifting again. It is really freaking me out that I may not be able to see properly again.
Thanks
