Myopic shift as presenting symptom??

[WildMtn]

I'm new, confused, and not even sure if I even have diabetes.

For the past 2 weeks I've been extremely tired, and hungry, but I blamed that on giving up coffee.  I thought I was eating more to help me stay awake.

Then I started peeing like a race horse.  I never wake up to pee at night, but that started 2 nights ago.

To top it all off, when I drove my son to school yesterday, I realized I couldn't read the street signs!  I totally panicked.  

Called my GP for a visit, thinking I had some weird urinary tract infection and eye thing going on at the same time.  My urine came back "normal" and she drew blood for a metabolic panel, an A1C, and sent me off to an opthamologist.  It was there that he put the pieces together.  My eyes are "ok" in that my vision can be corrected, but my current glasses are suddenly not what my eyes need - by 2x!!  He called it a myopic shift, put it all together with my other symptoms, called my GP and gave me a mini talk on what to do if I experienced any worsening symptoms.  

I haven't heard back from my GP yet this morning, but I found this forum and thought I'd reach out in case anyone has had something similar happen.

Thanks!

A1C is fine, so back to the drawing board on why my vision suddenly worsened!

Changes in BG (blood sugar) change the shape of the eye.  Its a slow process. so you have to run high BG for a while before your vision chainges.  so too when your BG drops. wait for the A1c test
