I think I'm also one of those people with glucose sensitive eyes. When my A1c was in the low 6's I had some bleeds that caused dark splotches in my vision, and constant floaters were a way of life. I also had frozen shoulder. It wasn't until I not only got my A1c's down to the low 5's, but also stabilized the swings, that I was able to reverse those complications to the point where my retina scans look completely normal. Once that happened, I went for something like a year without a single floater, and then I had a bout of extreme insulin resistance which caused my blood sugars to rise frequently into the 200's for several days, and the floaters came right back. Coincidence? I've heard that blood sugar has nothing to do with floaters, but it sure seems to with me. So I'm not allowed a break when it comes to my eyes, and you seem to have to work much harder than I do.... totally unfair.
