What Causes Blurred Vision While Suffering From Diabetes?

My name is Tacia, I m a diabetic and was recently placed on Medrol dose pack in which my blood sugars sky rocketed over 450, I ve noticed blurred vision, sluggish, and a lack of appetite. My doctor is aware and states if my blood sugars are over 350 to come to his office, unfortunately I m a Registered Nurse and working 3-12 s this week and won t be able to see him then. I no longer take Insulin, I take Metformin 2000 mg daily. What do you suggest.

Hello,

There are micro and macrovascular complications for uncontrolled diabetes. Micro complications are retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy leading to visual disturbances, numbness and burning sensation, and kidney failure.

To stop these complications, one's glucose levels should be in control. Please consult diabetologist for adequate control of sugar levels and ophthalmologist for retinal examination.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siddartha
