Issues with my eye sight and glasses since I no longer have diabetes



Recommended Posts

Before my RNY I had very bad diabetes and had a different Rx. for my eye glasses. My glasses that I had made when I had real bad issues with my diabetes are not working so well now since I no longer take the meds for it and no longer have sugar problems. I am wearing a pair of glasses I had made before I really had any problems with diabetes. So it seems like my vision has gotten better since I don't have sugar issues anymore ????... Has anyone else experienced this problem?

My vision has greatly improved. Prior to surgery I had been diagnosed as a diabetic, but post surgery I am now fine. I'm a lot healthier in more ways than one. My sight is back to near perfect, but my focus is an issue so they are treating that.

Did you have dizziness? I have been super dizzy for the last two weeks and started wondering if it could be my eyes. I had blood work last week but it is not back yet. I think I will make an eye appt too!

Recently I got strict about my tracking and trying to lower my blood sugar (had been in the 400s). Now that its down to the mid- to high- 100s I'm noticing everything close up is very blurry. Has anyone experienced this? Do you think my eyesight will stabilize as my blood sugar stabilizes to a more normal level? Should I see an optometrist or an ophthalmologist?

Charity, I would go with an opthamologist they are also MDs as well as eye specialists. Sounds like your eyes are going farsighted, early for it to be part of aging, so get it checked out. Might just need a new glasses prescription.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
