Major headache after 'blurry' vision

I have been diagnosed with Diabetes as well but cant remember type one or two, but in this doesn't matter anyways

This week I had the second blurred vision problem since the diagnose, and it always seem to happen in the morning, I see stars, white spots, people in front of me , I see dubble or tripple and afterwards...'THE' mother of all headaches, normally I never have headaches not even after a night drinking.
It's similar I think like if you would wear some glasses that are way too strong for you and then remove them after an hour.

Headache pills don't seem to work, the bright office lights just makes it worse and all that can help in my case is to sleep it off. a few hours sleep after this 'attack' and I can go on with my business.

anyone else with this problem ? remedy? symptoms ?

Sounds like a classic migrain. I had the same thing happen on a regular basis 10 or more years ago and like you, the only thing that worked was laying down in a dark room until I went to sleep, and then I'd be okay after I woke up.

You should see your doctor, and also possibly a neurologist. I think there are new meds available that can really help control them, even before they happen.

Yes, it does sound a lot like migrine symptoms.

Beats more needles! Unless the pill is one of those really huge ones.
