| I didn't want to start a new thread when others dealing with the same topic already exist (I hope you don't mind SarahRenee).
Almost immediately after being diagnosed with Type II (three weeks ago) my vision became blurry. So much so that my reading glasses don't work, and my far vision is even worse. I went from 20/18 vision in both eyes to something far worse. I'll find out Tuesday when I see the opthamologist. Anyway, the doctor started me on some mild medication and since my BG has stayed within the recommended target ranges, and really without trying to maintain a strict diet. I'm kind of going along experimenting with how my normal foods affect the levels. I don't go out of my way to intake sugar, but not avoiding it entirely either.
My question after all this (for a first post it had to be something of substance) is had anyone experienced the same thing and had their normal vision return after an extended period (barring any damage)? I can wait it out, but I've been relatively normal for a few weeks now and I'm getting anxious to be able to see clearly again.
I was previously screened for retinopathy and showed no signs of any problems. I would imagine another screening on Tuesday but I don't imagine a big change (if any) from a couple months ago.
Thanks, and I'm learning a lot I didn' know here. I've been lurking and reading most all new posts, so most of my questions have been answered. The only one not answered is how I got this in the first place. No family history, I'm not fat, and I never ate unhealthy either. In fact, if not for the blurry vision I'd probably question whether I had diabetes at all (VA doctors sometimes aren't that bright). Was it just a sugar spike when I happened to have labs drawn? I haven't always fasted entirely before labs. Sometimes a little cheat, but not much.
Well, if anyone can answer that question, it'd be great. But I'm not holding out much hope because I'm sure there are others wondering the same...
Thanks again!
