Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / January 2004Atkins cured my changing vision problem
I can only assume that I was pre - T2 diabetic as I never went to the doctor. But the symptoms of this sweets addict were blurred vision and changing vision thruout the day. I went for glasses and the eye doctor only looked puzzled when I told her about the vision changing from morning to night. What an idiot she was/is. I self-diagnosed the problem to be related to blood sugar and started the Atkins diet a year ago. Within a few weeks I noticed that my vision was stabilizing and credit the change to the Atkins diet. Since then, the vision remains stable. Thank you Dr Atkins. PJ Why don't you credit yourself? You could have done Zone or South Beach and got the same results. YOU decided to change, Dr. Atkins didn't do it for you. You should still go to the Dr., but I'm sure you know that already.

This is perhaps the most ridiculous statement I've ever read in this newsgroup...and that's really saying something!

But the symptoms of this sweets addict were blurred vision [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Troll = IDIOT one time when I was interested in web site hosting I found many people in such newsgroups worked for web hosting companies. spammers as we all know are very clever. they come into groups pretending to post on topic but have 1 agenda. in this news group I have seen every kind of troll from Aspartame to Viagra. but I have never seen a low carb troll. of all the news groups this should be one of the best places for such a troll. can it be they are already here? I am not pointing any fingers at anyone but I do believe they post here from time to time - if not every day. it only takes a few minutes a day to make a few posts. jmho >> > I can only assume that I was pre - T2 diabetic as I never went to the >> > doctor.

But I am sure some of the hype marketers would not bypass the chance. However they are not perfect. A doc shill on TV made a fool of himself. Seriously, I do not remember any high hyped thing that amounted to anything. If you are smart and want to get rich, it is the way to go. We are bombarded with diets right now. I net a skinny guy yesterday and I thought he came from Mars. The used to make people look thinner on TV now I think they make them look fatter.I am sick of diabetic ads and diet ads. Experience says that the money people will move to a new game when they run out of suckers. Diabetics must watch food input. That is real but I don't need the concoctions at inflated prices., 13:32:34 Thu, 22 Jan 2004alt.support.diabetes >>> > I can only assume that I was pre - T2 diabetic as I never went to the >>> > doctor.

The lack of follow-up also adds to that impression, IMO. However, I have read, in a.s.d.uk, that raised BG levels result in extra glucose in the fluids in the eye, changing the refractive index a little. I wouldn't have thought it could change throughout a single day, but I don't know. I will say, though, that my own eyesight has improved a little since I brought my own average BG levels down. OTOH, that could also be due to ageing. Hard to say on a sample of one, but it did happen rather suddenly, that is, the change appeared to happen over the course of a few days - although it took me much longer than that to get my BGs under control, it was towards the end of that process that it happened.

Gita Bellin Martin, My own vision changes so intensely when I eat too many carbs that I will suddenly find I can no longer read the signs on the highway with my usually effective distance glasses. Back when my blood sugars were not under control, I'd get a new prescription for glasses after lunch and then find they didn't work the next morning. My eye doctor said this is because the glucose changes the refactive index of the fluid in your eye and to be sure to test blood sugar before getting a new prescription to be sure it's near normal. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years.

Gita Bellin Martin, The changes in my vision happen within a few hours of ingesting carbs. This was yet another symptom that my doctors told me was caused by "menopause" which was actually caused by blood sugar. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight.
