Diabetes is not associated with specific clinical symptoms, making it difficult to detect in the early stages. However, there are some signs that may indicate high blood sugar levels, some of which may appear in the eyes and vision. According to the British newspaper "Express," one of the warning symptoms of diabetes is an unusual and sudden improvement in vision, which can be one of the unusual signs of high blood sugar levels.
The Southern California Vision and Hearing Foundation explains that sudden improvement in vision can be related to the fluid within the eye, as high blood sugar levels can cause sudden changes in fluid levels throughout the body, and the eyes are no exception. These fluids help your eye maintain its shape, and any changes in these fluid levels can affect your vision, making it better or worse.
The longer blood sugar levels remain uncontrolled, the greater the risks they pose to an individual's health. In the worst-case scenarios, the nerves in the extremities can be damaged to the extent that amputation may be necessary. Other potential complications include strokes and heart attacks, so effectively managing blood sugar levels is crucial.
Controlling high blood sugar is the cornerstone of managing diabetes and avoiding its complications, primarily through a healthy diet and regular exercise.
