When I was diagnosed I had some blurring of vision in both eyes, but my fasting test number was 378! I don't think I have seen any posts of people having blurred vision with numbers like yours, I would also expect that if it was diabetes that you would have the issue with both eyes.

I know I have gained fifty pounds since I had lasik surgery on my eyes and that weight gain is probably enough to cause type 2? The results do look like a non diabetic but I will have to check in June and see what is going on and see how my glucose levels are doing. |
Weight gain alone is NOT enough to trigger diabetes, there are thin type 2's. You need to be genetically predisposed to diabetes. Does anyone in your family have diabetes, if so then it would be advisable to try shift the extra weight, it would be wise to try that anyhow. I know it's not easy, having been through it and continuing to work at it myself.
I would suggest that you investigate your eye issues with another optician, perhaps a new person can identify the problem.
