1 - I have been diagnosed as type 2 for 6 years. My highest A1C was 6.5, last being 5.8. Numbers high only at morning fasting. I take Metformin and Byetta 10. I accidently discovered loss of night vision in one eye at night. This is in low light, if it is bright I can see ok. Last year eye exam the doctor told me the eye showed some changes but nothing to be worried about. And, now I am worried. Is this what happens with diabetic eyes, even when numbers are not high? I have a call in to my doctor to get a referral for an exam. I guess I thought problems happened if numbers were high, not if they were kept low and within range. (Comment this)

New ADA guidelines recommend A1C below 6.5. Seek guidance from a specialistsfor Retina in addition to your regular Opthalmologist. YOU have to remain on guard for Retinopathy and other eye desease always and best solution is good diabetes control. (Comment this)
