Eye test

Today I had my eyes tested to see if they were bleeding.  I know what your thinking, that sounds terrible but it is not too bad.  What they meant is that when you get diabetes, if your levels are too high too often it can lead to blindness.  But it would have to be very bad and very poor control.  You can't see it unless it is really bad and then your vision will be bad in other words blurry.  The good thing is that it does not hurt.  Now I have to go because I can barely keep my eyes open.

  3. Dear Nick,

    You're very welcome! Yeah, it is good that you don't have eye bleeds. And you know, you really mustn't worry. For the time that you are living at home, at least, Mom would never let your sugars stay high for longer than a few hours, a couple of days at the most.

    When you DO leave home, yeah sure, you will have to keep an eye on it. However, your eyes will only start to bleed if your sugars are too high for, like, months and MONTHS!

    I really wouldn't worry about it if I was you. Sure, it's a scary fact, but hey, as if it's going to happen to YOU :)

  5. Yeah, it is good that Mom is here, isn't it. I mean, what would diabetes be without Mom? ha ha. lol. And I reckon it would take way longer than that before you got eye bleeds.

  6. It might take a long time but if you ran like 25 you would have eye bleeds in no time. Thanks for commenting Izi. xoxo

  7. Nick .....

    Yeah, but once your levels are like '25,' IT WOULD BE PRETTY OBVIOUS! And it's not like you're going to be staying that hight for long. It would also have to take like, days and DAYS before even one little eye bleed started. And even then, if you DID get eyebleeds, that doesn't mean that you are definitly going to go blind.

    So don't worry.
