How Do Sugar Levels Affect Blurry Vision?
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

For years I have been nearsighted. I would have to squint sometimes to see street signs while driving or read the page numbers on the wall at church. Then my undiagnosed diabetes had my blood glucose reaching 405 this June and my vision was immensely worse. I couldn't see clearly more than 10 or so inches from my face
As I took metformin and drastically cut carbs... my blood glucose lowered to 140 and my vision was crystal clear. I could see far and it was like 20/20

Losing 40lbs made my A1c drop from 6.2 to 5.9. Metaformin did the rest. Losing another 40lbs feels like climbing mount Everest that is covered in Grease with no climbing equipment.

Trulicity
A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

If you are a Trulicity user can you tell me what side effects you have had? I have experienced nausea, having to go to the bathroom 5 times in a row to go #2, a tightening of my stomach area and extreme eyesight changes since starting on Trulicity. The good news: my blood sugars went from over 500 to waking up to blood sugars as low as 151 and although my up close vision has worsened my distance vision has corrected itself to where I don't need glasses.

That certainly is the perception with those of us who have used or use a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) but do they really "read low".

First we need to understand exactly what they are "reading".

A Lab test, so when you go for A1C, 8 hour Fasting Test, A Random Test or an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) they are drawing blood directly from your veins.

Your veins contain the "most accurate" level of blood sugar "at the time of the test" because veins are "closest to the sugar source"… read more
