I need som "insight" I was DX's about 2.5 yrs ago w/ type II Diabetes. For about 1yr I controlled it with diet and excercise fairly. Then the BG level continued to rise slowly so my Dr but me on 1, then 2 and now 3 oral medications (trying to not put me on insulin because I need to lose weight and insulin has the side effect of causing wt gain). About 1 month ago my blood sugar spiked to 606, and had not dropped below 300 until I was put on that 3rd medication. My question is, my eyesight has also gone crazy. I normally where tri focals and I cant see with my glasses at all. I had my eyes ck by eye Dr and she said that no retina damage has been done, and that the elevated BG is causing my blurred vision etc. She said that once I got the BG under control my vision should return to normal. Well just in the last week I had a 74 as a low and up to around 200 as a high. I am getting quit a few readings in the low 100's... but my vision is not getting better. How long does it take for the vision to correct, or do you think the vision problem is unrelated to my recent spike in BG levels? Also do you recommend that I see and endocrinologist for my diabetes or is seeing my primary care physician all I need to do? Thanks so much! Diane HELP…. I need som “insight”
