What Causes Sporadic Blurred Vision While On Treatment For Diabetes?

I was recently diagnosed with hepatitis D, diabetes, and since my latest hospital stay, my vision is going through periods of blurriness that I have never experienced before. Not only the conditions, but the medicine have really effected my ability to work. I have recently returned to work, a job which I do love, after a month of a medical leave. I do not feel quite up to returning to my routine. I have taken steps to improve my health including diabetes education classes, changes in diet and riding six to eight miles/day on my bicycle. I have noticed, in addition to the blurry vision, I've had stomach issues and chest pains. This includes strange coughing spells. I just want to return to my normal life. What can I do? Do you think I should apply to some sort of temporary disability until I can get everything straightened out?
