Questions so that I can help

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I am trying to sort out your question. Are you losing weight intentionally or are you suddenly losing weight and having increased thirst and urination with it?

When did the blurry vision begin?

Can you check your blood sugar right now?

Detailed Answer:
Please go in to have your blood sugar checked now and for your eyes to be looked at by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. If this is from elevated sugar, it needs to be addressed promptly.
