Hello everyone,
How are you today? I thought I would revive this older discussion so we can talk about vision issues related to type 2 diabetes! 
As you may know, diabetes can put you at risk for eye complications, including glaucoma, cataracts, retinopathy (damage to the blood vessels in the back of the eye) and macular edema.
Have any of you experienced any eye issues because of your diabetes? If so, what have you done to treat the issue? How often do you see your eye doctor?

Feel free to share any experiences or advice here!
Take care,
Courtney

I have been a pre diabetic for years and am now type 2 my blood sugar spiked to 180 and I have double vision, my Dr. put me on metformin 500 mg 2 times a day and is hoping my eyes problems correct and my BS lowers. i have never had eye problems before and am wondering if any others have had the same problems and if they corrected once the BS levels lowered to normal range
