April Status Update & Sad News by ArrJaySketch

Last month I was diagnosed with diabetes. The good news is that I'm managing it well! My blood sugar is much lower than it was a few weeks ago, and I'm going to keep working on myself.


A side effect of this is blurry vision; I had my eyes checked out by my eye doctor. It'll be 4~6 weeks before my vision returns to normal. My eyes are otherwise in good shape!


In other sad news, my last grandparent passed away today. It was expected, but still sad. 😢


I'm giving myself some time to grieve.

    Deepest sympathies. Take all the time you need.

    On the diabetes and vision front—I have a thyroid condition, which also falls under a lot of the endocrine treatment systems that diabetes does. One thing I learned from my eye doctor is that diabetes and/or thyroid treatments (and conditions) can affect your eyes. It’s always recommended to get an eye exam yearly, when you have one of these conditions. So, I very much understand this event you’re going through. You’ll probably experience times when your vision feels better or worse……..I sometimes get an odd sense of dysfocus, where one eye goes blurry but the other doesn’t, too—it helps if I close and cover the affected eye for a few minutes. I experience more of this in recent years, as I’ve gotten older and just had to finally get bi-focals. XD
