Background Info Hide
I was told by my doctor a year ago I was pre diabetic blood sugar of 118 and he said to eat more of a balanced diet. The systems mentioned above have just started and I have not gone back to him yet. Should I be concerned and should I go back and be evaluated.

Dear garyw_simmons@yahoo.com Dear Gary, if you are pre-diabetic, I doubt that your blurred vision is caused by diabetes. If you have eaten cereal, you are not having a low blood sugar an hour later. I would advise you to make an appointment with your physician and find out what the real problem is. I don't think you can blame this on diabetes, unless you progressed very rapidly and have extremely high blood sugars. So, see your doctor and let an expert diagnose you.

To me this could be diabetes related, many cereals cause bs t go up. Do you test your bs to see what they are,. If not there is no way to know, I would sure see your doc on this matter this is not normal.
