Shortly after I got diabetes (within 6 months), I had to get glasses, I was going blind, in a very mild sense of the term. Most days you can’t tell though that I’m hard of seeing because I wear contacts, as I am in this picture.
One of the complications of diabetes is loss of sight and so it’s important for diabetics to take care of themselves and keep everything under control in order to avoid long term complications.
Of course, just because a diabetic wears glasses doesn’t mean they don’t take care of themselves, like me, they could have come from an unfortunate gene pool where eye sight was concerned.
Now a days however, mom watches my eyes for a different reason, the one on the right will tell her if I’m getting sick. The eyelid starts to droop. It sucks for me because I can’t ever hide my illnesses. It’s convenient for her because she doesn’t have to listen to me tell her "I’m fine".
There is no cure for diabetes…
Yet!
