I went to the doctor for a rountine physcial and had this droped in my lap. I have type 2 and I have high colestrol. That was last friday. I have been monitoring my Blood twice a day once in the morning (fasting)and once in the evening ( 2 hours after I eat). To top all off My vision has gone blurry so Know I am having to where contacts and going from perfect eyesite to blurry vision is also a major challange. The good news is i am losing weight I am watching what I eat and i am going to beat this. My blood test are all going down with the metformim. The question I have and I hope someone can help with this is when will the Blurry vision go away? Listen to the lunatic inside you "You're only given a little spark of madness.

I am also T2 and was diagnosed a couple of months ago. I too was suffering from some severe blurry vision and found myself as worried as you are. I learned that a person experiences blurry vision when their glucose levels are high, but also when the levels decline rapidly. So don't worry, your vision will get better, but it might take a couple of weeks. Just keep eating like you should to keep your glucose down, exercise as you are able, take your medicine, and keep checking your glucose. My vision has returned to normal after doing these things. But keep in mind, you will want to see an opthamologist yearly to make sure all is well with your vision. ----------- Dave Report Bad Post | IP | Print-Friendly | Edit Post | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top | Tree

I had the same thing happen to me, and I am a type 1.5. In fact, I thought I was going to need new glasses and went to the ophthalmologist a day after I saw the doctor. I didn't have my diagnosis yet from the doctor, but the eye doc said: "You either have cataracts or diabetes." I told him I'd prefer cataracts, but it turned out he was right on with the diabetes diagnosis, unfortunately! I had all the classic symptoms, so I was pretty sure that was what it was going to turn out to be. It looks like you are on the right track and are motivated to take charge of this disease. Do as Dave has suggested, eat right, exercise, check often, and take your medications! Good luck. Suzanna Report Bad Post | IP | Print-Friendly | Edit Post | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top | Tree
