Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

the dose of insulin for every person has to be made individual. till that typical dose is reached, the sugar is going to remain high.

you need also understand that it is always better to control sugars with insulin especially with sugars as high as yours. so you may need to meet your diabetician accordingly.

as for vision problem and frequency of micturition, both the symptoms should respond once your sugars are under control

Meet a diabetician for insulin, a dietician for diabetic diet and start exercise regularly
