How long will my vision be blurry after being diagnosed with Diabetes??
Answers: The likelihood and severity of retinopathy increase the longer you have diabetes, and is likely to occur earlier and be more severe if your diabetes is poorly controlled. Almost everyone who has had diabetes for more than 30 years will show signs of diabetic retinopathy.
Please see the webpages on Diabetic retinopathy.
My vision went south last summer.
A friend checked my Sugar(450)
I saw A Dr. As I lowered My sugar My Vision came back.
The Dr. said, I could Have damaged My Eyes permanently,
I was fortunate, The Best Thing to Do Is GET YOUR SUGAR DOWN (DIET, EXERCISE, MEDS or ALL of THE ABOVE!
Your Eyes are not all that can be damaged!

There are three series of changes that occur with the person who has diabetes: acute changes, intermediate changes, and chronic changes. Acute changes, or complications, are diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome. Intermediate complications are those involving illness, surgery, pregnancy, and travel. Chronic complications involve the nerves (neuropathy), the kidneys (nephropathy), the eyes (retinopathy), and macroangiopathy of the heart and large blood vessels (cardiomyopathy: peripheral, cerebral, and cardiovascular). Chronic complications are noticeable by pain, numbness, inability to see, inability to go to the bathroom, and inability to otherwise function. Retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiomyopathy have association, directly or indirectly, with small blood vessels.
The question is, if your blurry vision is acute (recently) or a chronic one. If it is an acute onset, then I would say you probably are suffering from an acute complication of diabetes which is Diabetic Ketoacidosis. wherein blurriness of vision is connected to glucosuria (glucose in urine). It's treatment is with fluids and insulin.
If you have chronic blurry vision, then you are suffering from retinopathy. Retinopathy may occur in various stages, the earliest of which are more reversible. Stage I involves the formation of a microaneurysm, which is the ballooning of a weak wall of a blood vessel. Microaneurysms may burst and hemorrhage. Exudates, or defined yellow spots, can sometimes be seen on the retina. While these were once thought to be fat or lipid deposits, they have actually been found to be scars from areas of bleeding in the retina. Stage II involves new vessel formation, hemorrhage, and scarring. Once this has occurred, it is not possible to reverse the condition. However, stabilization is possible through laser treatment.
The lens of the eye may also have problems. In the presence of higher glucose levels (blurs vision), the lens can become more translucent than transparent, resulting in the formation of a cataract. The cataract can be easily removed and a new lens transplanted.
diabetes will keep making you eyes blurry my mom lives with it and she getting worst with the yr's of having it all you can do is keep going to your DR's and let the eye dr know you have it
QUICKLY go and eat sugar, candy canes, and duh! candy
eat as much sugar as possible daily
replace dose veges with sugar and stay away from salt
veges may make your body stronger but they are low on sugar and high in vitamins
i dont know but my grandpa is blind right because of his diabetes
Have you been placed on medication for the diabetes?.believe it or not once your blood sugar is back to normal your vision will improve..
that is a question you need to ask your doctor
It should improve when you get your blood sugars under control. Will happen again when you have high levels. If you are still having problems when you have your next Dr. appointment, be sure to tell him. If there has been eye damage, other measures will need to be taken.
So, if I understand this right, you got diagnosed with diabetes, and your vision immediately went blurry, or something like that? Weird!
Years, if you take care of your self.
Why should you wait? Take the advice of your doctor and you will go no wrong. Prevention is always better than cure.
Ive had an operation on my eye for damages that i have done to my eye and after the operation i noted my vision becoming blurry and cloudy on some days, but ive had an operation to replace my lense in my eye and i can see clearly now, but the reason im answering you question is ive seen alot of posters around at my doctors about diabetes and vision and there are alot that doctors can do to help people with these issues
Well it seems you need to see an ophtalmologist to check your eyes, for blurry vision is related to retina problems due to diabetes. If they are just starting, they can be solved.
The one that wrote you to eat sugar and sugar probably thought you were having an acute hypoglicemia but it doesn't read like you were having it to me.
that depends. your diabetes must be controlled to its normal level. uncontrolled diabetes means a lot of things... early development of cataract to name one. also, diabetic retinopathy. ive seen lot of people who dont care about their health and had had loss of sight at an early age. u must have a yearly check up with an ophthalmologist, that's the doctor who takes care of ur eyes.
